Heather Locklear’s Fine After Suicide Attempt Hoax

By: Shannon Gossage

It has been reported that the police and paramedics were dispatched to actress Heather Locklear’s home in Thousand Oaks, California after someone called in and said they were concerned that she may attempt to kill herself. The caller did not leave a name and the call did not come from inside Locklear’s home. When police arrived on the scene they realized that the actress was fine and determined that she was not in danger.

Ventura County Fire Department Captain Barry Parker said, "Ms. Locklear said she was fine and there appeared to be no problem. Nobody in the house needed medical attention so we left after about 10 minutes." He added, "We’re satisfied this was a call from a concerned citizen, not a malicious call." Locklear’s rep said, "She never requested assistance and did not place the 911 call. Nor did anyone from her house call 911 or place a call requesting medical assistance."

Locklear, 46, is currently dating former Melrose Place co-star Jack Wagner. They have reportedly remained friends since the show went off the air in 1999, but their relationship took a romantic turn last spring. Prior to her relationship with Wagner she was romantically involved with actor David Spade. Locklear and Richie Sambora, her husband of almost 11 years, split in December 2005. They have a 10-year old daughter, Ava. Shortly after her split with Sambora, he began a relationship with Locklear’s best friend, Denise Richards, quickly ending their friendship. Sambora and Richards have since called it quits.
