Shawn Southwick King suicide attempt

Larry King's wife Shawn Southwick King overdosed on prescription drugs a few days ago, and accoring to The National Enquirer, the incident was documented as a suicide attempt in the official police report.

Shawn King's father Karl Engemann found his daughter unresponsive at her home in Utah on May 28, and called 911.

"I can't wake her up," Shawn's father Karl told the 911 operator. "She may have overmedicated. I don't think she did it on purpose. Last night she seemed confused about what she had taken, the last time she had taken it."

He also told the 911 operator that it was not a suicide attempt. "No, no. No, it wouldn't be suicidal," he said. "She's unconscious. I slap her and I holler at her and she opens her eyes half way and puts them back down again. I left my daughter here last night and she was fine. I come this morning she's supposed to have a meeting in a while and she just seems to be out of it."

Larry and Shawn both filed for divorce on April 14 this year, amid accusations he was having an affair with Shawn's sister Shannon. The couple reconciled later. Read details about Larry King Divorce Drama: Cheating Scandal, Shannon Engemann, Hector Penate, Prenup
