As more details about Paris Jackson’s suicide attempt come out, and more support for the young teen outpours, the 911 call from the morning of her attempt has been released.
Los Angeles County Fire officials released the tape on Tuesday (June 11), which captures the emergency call from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The call reveals that Jackson took 20 Motrin pills and slit her wrist with a kitchen knife, The Denver Post reports. Audio from the call also reveals that the 15-year-old was awake and responsive at the time paramedics arrived at her home.
Jackson was rushed to the hospital after the call was placed at 1:27 am on the morning of June 5. A source close to the family said that Jackson suffers from “severe depression” and had been treated by mental health professionals prior to her recent attempt to take her life.
The only daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson spent 72 hours at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles on psychiatric hold before being transferred to UCLA Medical Center, the same center where doctors attempted to revive her father almost four years ago. The King of Pop died from complications with sleeping medication on June 25, 2009.
The teen was set to testify in a wrongful death trial against AEG Live, the entertainment company who backed Jackson’s fateful comeback tour. The pressure to testify, coupled with online bullying, allegedly weighed heavily on the young girl.
The New York Daily News reports that upon release, Jackson will spend time on biological mother Debbie Rowe’s ranch to deal with the aftermath of her attempt. Katherine Jackson, legal guardian of Paris and her two brothers, is permitting the stay.
"Katherine [Jackson] was fine with it. Katherine really isn't equipped to deal with this right now, and Debbie has a background in health in psychology," a source close to the family says.
