Report: Shawn King Overdoses in Suicide Attempt; Depression Stems From Larry's Alleged Affair
by Free Britney at .Larry King's wife Shawn Southwick reportedly overdosed on prescription drugs in what investigators are considering a suicide bid. Fortunately, Shawn failed.
It all went down May 28 when Shawn's dad called 911 from the Kings' home in Provo, Utah, telling the dispatcher Shawn was breathing but not responsive.
Shawn King left a handwritten note stating she OD'd on purpose and indicated where she wanted to be buried, according to police, who found a lot meds.
Larry King says their marriage is still intact, despite both of them filing for divorce in April. Later, they called it off and decided to make the marriage work.
Apparently things went south between then and May 28, though.

Among the medications found at the home, Subutex is used to treat narcotic addiction, while Cymbalta is an anti-depressant and Lyrica a seizure treatment.
Klonopin and Clonazepam are anti-anxiety meds. Bottles of those two, along with Ambien, were empty and had been filled within 10 days of the incident.
Sources close to Shawn Southwick say she battles depression, which started, continued and never stopped over Larry King's alleged affair with her sister.
Shawn has been "extremely depressed" for more than five years, and the trigger is believed to be Larry's long-term involvement with Shannon Engemann.
If you've been following this story, you may recall that several years ago, this all blew up in Larry's face, and he made a peace offering to Shawn King.
At that point, Larry transferred title to all three of the couple's homes to Shawn's name alone. Yet for years, she still believed that he was doing Shannon.
She has denied an affair with King, so it's not clear what went on. But a source says, "She fought like crazy to remain sane, just to take care of her kids."
Married since 1996, they have two boys under the age of 10. Their baseball coach, Hector Penate, says he had an affair with Shawn ... often. Anyway ...
Shawn remains depressed even after reconciling with Larry, says a source: "Shawn's not a pill popper, but feels it's her only way to deal with depression."
We hope she finds a better one, and soon.

What a complete insecure bimbo. This woman doesn't even care about her own children to want to commit suicide over that thing (L.K). She probably doesn't even have real friends whom she can lean on. Who knows how high she sticks her nose up to avoid having any. Tiger wood's wife was the strongest spunkiest woman I have seen in years. That's what women should be like. Not weaklinks like her.
to be betrayed by your husbane and father of your children is one thing, to be betrayed by your sister as well is just terrible. I hope that her sister sees what she has done because you NEVER do that to your own blood! What a bitch! Poor Shawn I hope she gets better for the sake of her children.
