Did T.O. Do It?

I knew T.O. was going to deny what was in the police report that said he attempted to commit suicide. He even practiced yesterday and held a press conference where he and his publicist defended his "innocence."

I do not always trust police reports but T.O.'s story is even more suspicious.

1) His publicist thought he took all the pills because the bottle was empty. Actually the rest of the pills were in a drawer. Possible but unlikely, who puts pills in a drawer?
2) His publicist told police that he was depressed. She denies ever saying that.
3) He took too many pain pills (hydrocodone) because he was taking them at the same time as his supplements. Seems very unlikely. He also said he had an allergic reaction. I'm not clear if he's sticking to that or which defense he's using.
4) He told the police he took the whole bottle and that he was trying to harm himself. He says the police thought he was more coherent than he actually was and he doesn't remember speaking to them.
5) He has 25 million reasons to live. That was a stupid thing for his publicist to say.

I'm really having a hard time believing that he tried to commit suicide, while his publicist was sitting right there. But I also don't believe their version of events. So I'm really not sure what happened. But here are a couple mitigating factors that tilt the scales to suicide attempt:

According to the Dallas Morning News, Owens' son, from a previous relationship, celebrated his birthday Monday. Owens was distraught about not being able to be see the boy, who lives in California.
Then hours later, Owens' hot fiancée, Felisha Terrell, broke off the relationship.

Didn't know that about his son & fiance.

And for him not to know how many pills he took is rediculous. The man takes a ton of supplements to keep his body looking like that. I think he'd know exactly how many he took or had.
