Heather Locklear Hospitalized for Alleged Overdose; Was it a Suicide Bid?
UPDATE (Friday, 8:45 a.m.): Heather locklear is in stable condition at a Thousand Oaks, Calif. hospital.
She is in no danger and she's going to be just fine, her parents Bill and Diane Locklear said in a statement.
Heather Locklear was hospitalized on Thursday after an emergency call made by her sister alleged she had suffered a drug overdose, leaving fans wondering if it was another suicide attempt by the blonde bombshell.
According to a report from TMZ, Locklear's sister called Ventura County, Calif., 911 at 2:05 p.m. on Thursday to report that Locklear had taken a dangerous mix of prescription drug and alcohol.
County sheriff's officers responded to the call and paramedics rushed Locklear to the hospital via ambulance.
It is unclear whether Locklear was intending to commit suicide, but it would not be the first attempt. In 2008, Locklear reportedly overdosed on prescription medicines and her doctor phoned emergency services saying she was trying to commit suicide, which later was determined a false alarm.
Locklear reportedly checked into rehab shortly afterward, in June 2008, in Arizona to receive treatment for anxiety and depression.
Locklear was most recently in the news for calling off her engagement to former Melrose Place co-star Jack Wagner, whom she had been dating since 2007. Locklear announced their plans to get married in August.
Jack and Heather are no longer engaged, Locklear's rep told People magazine, without giving a reason for the split.
Locklear was previously married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, which ended in 1993. Shortly thereafter, she married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora before divorcing in 2007. Locklear and Sambora had a child together in 1997, a daughter named Ava.
Locklear began her career as a model for the UCLA college store before landing her first major roles in Dynasty and T.J. Hooker in the 1980s.
She is best known for her role as Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place, which first aired in 1993.
