911 Call: Larry King's Wife Overdoses on Pills
 
LOS ANGELES -- CNN host Larry King's wife was rushed to the hospital last month after she reportedly overdosed on pills.

Shawn Southwick, 50, apparently overmedicated and was found unconscious by her father on May 29 at her Provo, Utah home.

Radar Online has obtained a 911 call in which Southwick's father, Karl Engermann, tells the dispatcher, "I can't wake her up."

"She may have overmedicated," he tells the 911 operator.

Engemann said he yelled in Shawn's face but she was unresponsive.

"She's unconscious. I slap her and I holler at her and she opens her eyes halfway and puts them back down again."

When asked if it could be a suicide attempt, Engemann, 76, emphatically replies, "No, no. No, it wouldn't be suicidal. I don't think she did it on purpose. Last night she seemed confused about what she had taken, the last time she had taken it."

It's unclear what medication Southwick may have overdosed on, but her family says she takes drugs for anxiety and depression.

Southwick and Larry King both filed for divorce in April citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple later reconciled.

King and Southwick don't have a pre-nup. They have two sons, 11 year old Chance and 9 year old Cannon.

This is King's eighth marriage. He and Southwick have been married for 12½ years.

King's eighth marriage? Why bother getting married at that point? Just have a bunch of girlfriends, like Heffner.

Also, I'm surprised he was able to father additional children well into his mid-late 60s!
