Earlier this week, I blogged about Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange was rushed to the hospital Saturday. Thursday, the New York Post reported that a suicide attempt was the reason for his hospitalization.
A source told the Post that Lange stabbed himself nine times. “Lange sustained six ‘hesitation wounds’ and three deep plunges.” His mother found him in his home on Saturday morning and frantically called 911. Luckily, doctors were able to save him.
Howard Stern was upset that the news became public, saying it is a family matter. He and Robin Quivers discussed Artie lovingly on Thursday’s show:
“We all have our demons… 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.”
Hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of Howard Stern Show fans are pulling for Artie. Hope that helps him through.
