Report: Paris Jackson Rushed to Hospital in Suicide Attempt

 

According to TMZ, Paris Jackson was rushed to a local Los Angeles hospital early Wednesday morning.

A call was placed to 911 at 1:27 A.M. with reports of a possible overdose. A source claims there were multiple cuts on the star's wrists as well. Jackson was reportedly taken from her family's Calabasas home on a stretcher at about 2:00 A.M.

Jackson tweeted troubling messages hours before. "I wonder why tears are salty?" she shared. "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay," she later followed up.

A close source to Jackson told TMZ she tried this before but, "this was far more serious. It was not a cry for help."

A lawyer for Katherine Jackson told the Daily News, "She's suffered with the loss of her father. But we don't know what she was exposed to that precipitated this."
