Larry King's wife Shawn King is recovering from an apparent prescription drug overdose, a spokesperson for the talk show host said earlier today. The overdose happened at Shawn's home in Provo, Utah, on May 28, the Associated Press reports.Shawn's father, Karl Engemann, discovered her, unresponsive, in bed. She was breathing, but he was unable to wake her, according to a transcript of the emergency call, released on Wednesday. Engemann dialed 911 and told the dispatcher he believed his daughter might have taken too much medication for depression or anxiety. Her father also told the dispatcher he did not believe it was a suicide attempt.
When authorities arrived at the home, they found several empty bottles of prescription medications, some of which had been filled within the previous 10 days, according to the police report.

That is just plain sick!
Unless you know the couple, you are just making a fool of yourself. I had the joy of meeting Larry King in Miami in the early 60's. My husband worked for the same radio station. He was a true GENTLEMAN. I know nothing about his TRUE personal life. It is his business. Do not believe everything reported in the media. Good news is not sensational news. The bigger the scandal, the faster most of you who voiced an opinion will jump on the band wagon. Before your next post, ask yourself how well you are acquainted with the parties involved. Do not let the news media make up your mind for you. (BTW....MY HUSBAND WAS A RESPECTED JOURNALIST AND WRITER.)
"A handwritten note found on the scene.............."
In Larry's handwriting?
ROFL! For a long time the crypt keeper was trying to launch Goldigger's Country Western singing career-she was so bad when she appeared here that people booed and threw stuff at the stage. It was like a really really bad American Idol audition, with Goldigger being the last to figure out she had no talent and couldn't sing...
Interesting how Larry Kings' wife's suicide attempt doesn't get to headlines. Guess it's okay for Larry to expose everyone else's dirt, but he and wife are protected. Hmmmm.
I'd be tempted to OD too if I had to look at him!
BIG PHARMA strikes again! DOPE KILLS even if you buy it at the drug store.

What a selfish b^&*h to leave her young sons without parents, because Larry wont be around much longer either. This is another Phil Hartmann case, flee Larry before she gets a gun and takes you with her she is nuts!

She called off her divorce. She left a note, took too many pills and her father saved her. It seems this woman needs more than rehab. Divorce is better than death. So sad.

Way to go "MOM". You have taught your children two things: They are not worth you sticking around when times are tough AND when life gets tough, take the easy way out. Just selfish....

What the hell did this woman think was going to happen when she married a man a helluva lot older than her, who had been married 6 times previously.

What a sick group of people we watch and suposedly admire. King is an absolute moron to think that any of these women actually cared about him and the world is sick to not recognize the disgusting truth of the embrace. She wants money, he has it, and he's going to die soon.
Please, let us stop !!!!!

So what's up with Larry King? Women just can't wait to divorce him (or kill themselves) to get away from him.
