'어거스트 러시' 조나단 마이어스 자살 시도 


영화 '어거스트 러시'로 인기를 끌었던 아일랜드 출신 배우 조나단 리스 마이어스(34)가 자살을 시도했다고 데일리 메일이 보도했다.

지난달 30일(현지시각) 새벽 마이어스는 자신의 집에서 다량의 약을 복용해 자살을 시도했다.

전화를 받고 출동한 구조원들이 응급처치를 했지만 그는 응급조치를 강력히 거부했으며 결국 경찰과 앰뷸런스가 출동해 런던 인근의 병원으로 옮겼다고.

마이어스는 그동안 알콜 중독 극복을 위해 싸워왔으며 지난 달 남아프리카에 있는 갱생 시설에 등록하기도 했던 것으로 알려졌다.

특히 2007년 그의 어머니 사망 이후 많이 힘들어했다고.
