Paris Jackson in ‘suicide bid’

 

father’s death. Paris Jackson (15) cut her wrists and took a drug overdose, according to reports.

The teenager had become “overwhelmed” with sadness over the loss of her superstar father, said a friend of the Jackson family.

She is also in the middle of doing her exams at school and is anxious over her looming appearance in court in Los Angeles where she is due to testify in a trial connected with Jackson’s fatal overdose.
In addition, sources said she was upset at not being allowed to go to a concert by goth rocker Marilyn Manson tonight.

She “threw a fit” after being told she couldn’t attend the concert on a school night and reportedly ran into her room screaming and slammed door.

Paris is going through a difficult time and has had “a lot going on lately”, her mother Debbie Rowe, who was pictured speaking to police on Wednesday outside her Palmdale ranch in California.

The teen has posted a series of dark messages on Twitter over recent months.

In May, she saluted Goth rocker Manson on her Twitter page, writing: “Hey evil world”, while in another from that month she refers to Nirvana Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994, as “Jesus”.

In another angst-ridden tweet in February she hinted at heartache over a failed relationship, exclaiming: “Here’s to teenage romances and never knowing why they hurt like hell”.

Perry Sanders, a lawyer for Katherine Jackson, the teen’s grandmother added: “Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you.” But he continued: “Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention.”

The drama unfolded just hours after the teenager posted a series of alarming messages on Twitter.
At around midnight on Tuesday, she recited the sorrowful Beatles song “Yesterday” to her million plus followers, writing: “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay.” An hour previously, she posted: “I wonder why tears are salty.”

The backdrop to her Twitter page shows Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, painted while the artist was in a mental asylum in Saint-Remy, France.

Scott Miller of the Los Angeles County Fire Department said an emergency call was made from the Jackson family compound in Calabasas, California, at 1.27am yesterday “regarding a possible over- dose”.

Paris was taken out of the house on a stretcher at 2am and rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital.

According to celebrity website TMZ, a source connected to the emergency response said there were multiple cuts on one of the victim’s wrists.

“She’s okay,” a source told the New York Daily News, scoffing at the idea that the teen would resort to suicide over missing a concert. “She’s very outgoing and has been spending time lately with Debbie and the animals. This is more just a kid acting out.” — Daily Mail.
