Artie Lange attempted suicide by stabbing himself nine times

Funnyman Artie Lange stabbed himself nine times in a suicide attempt last weekend.

Lange was hospitalized Saturday after his mother discovered him in his New York apartment. She had stopped by the bring him food and found her son with multiple stab wounds. It’s a good thing she came by because she probably saved his life.

Artie was rushed to the hospital where surgery was performed. Despite losing a large amount of blood doctors were able to save him.

Lange suffered six “hesitation” wounds and three very deep wounds.

This is terribly sad news. I hate to hear of anyone being so down and so depressed that they feel they must end their life – whether he was under the influence, or not. Sadly, suicide runs in my family and I definitely feel for anyone who is haunted by it.

I hope Artie gets some serious mental, physical and addiction help. He needs help in every single aspect of his life.

Get well, Artie. x
