Los Angeles - Actor Owen Wilson was released from a clinic nearly one week after a suicide attempt, People magazine reported Sunday.
The Wedding Crashers star was being observed around the clock at his house in Santa Monica, California after being released earlier in the weekend.
Last Sunday he reportedly cut his left wrist and took an indeterminate amount of pills.
'Owen is in bad mental shape but said he is thankful to be alive,' a source close to the actor told the magazine. 'He knows he came close to ending his life, and he is happy that he was saved from himself. He is basically at home with people watching him 24/7.'
Wilson, 38, has starred in a number of successful films, including The Royal Tenenbaums, for which he earned a writing Academy Award nomination, and Zoolander.
Regarded as a fun-loving bachelor, Wilson is nicknamed the Butterscotch Stallion and was last involved with actress Kate Hudson. The relationship ended in June and according to celebrity reports it plunged Wilson into depression.
