Quote:
The comedian, who has struggled with substance abuse, reportedly stabbed himself nine times.

Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post.

Lange's frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said.

Lange sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges.

A source close to Lange's management team confirmed that the sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food.

Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding.

"We all have our demons," Stern said on-air this week, referring to Lange's past battles with addiction. "Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He's a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don't forget how great he is."


Wow...I wonder if he was trying to get on Maddox's manliest ways to kill yourself list.

Killing yourself is so damn easy, anyone who gets it that wrong deserves to be insitutionalized.

Yes, anyone who tries to commit suicide needs help. Anyone who tries that hard and fails is not only mentally ill and in need of help, but a danger to others in that their next attempt will be bigger and may involve other people. He is crying for help. Give it to him. A few weeks of obsevation and counseling will do Mr. Lange a lot of good.

It couldn't hurt anyway.

If your question is about the statement that killing yourself is easy, yes it is. I've been on the brink of it several times in my life, being subject to great depression. I've never actually slit my wrists, shot myself, or jumped off a bridge. On reflection I decided to wait awhile, I could always do it later. I did try to drink myself to death several times, but the damned Irish constitution kept saving me. Not that I'm complaining about it now, but I'm fairly sure I killed a horrendous amount of brain cells.

What do you suggest? Patting him on the head and saying there there Artie, it isn't all that bad, here are some anti-depressants, go home and come back and see us in a few weeks?

Not me. Commit the poor bastard for a couple months and get him some counseling, decent nutrition, appropriate meds, and some time to come around. He needs time for his wounds to close and heal anyway. Howard can afford to put him up in a recovery hospital.

It would have been much better if he would have done the Cadbury Surprise or ate a tub full of beans. The holding your breath method is impossible.

I'd have to agree with Micheal, as much as I loved Artie Lange when I was still listening to Howard Stern, but anyone who attempts sucide does need to be insitutionalized cause they have serious issues and just want attention cause if you really wanted to kill yourself it's pretty damn easy.

Yea as a Stern listener its fairly obvious that Artie needs lots and lots of help. Much more than he's getting now.
