We’re Glad They’re Still Here: Celebs Who Survived Suicide Attempts

- By

Jayson Williams

From the outside looking in, professional athletes seem to have it all with the adoring fans and multi-million dollar contracts but sometimes the fairytale doesn’t always have a happy ending. Former NBA all-star Jayson Williams was on a downward spiral after he accidentally killed someone in his New Jersey home in 2002. The one-time New Jersey Nets player spent the next several years in court fighting for his freedom. In 2009, police were called to a Manhattan hotel room to find an intoxicated and suicidal Williams. Reports showed police found empty pill bottles and a suicide note. Williams had to be tasered and handcuffed to stop him from killing himself. He has since plead guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to five years in prison.
