INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt attempted to take his own life yesterday at his Indianapolis home.

Carmel 911 received a frantic call from Janalyn Vanderjagt at about 4:35 Monday evening. Apparently, Janalyn had just arrived home along with the couples son Jay Michael. Janalyn found her husband Mike attempting to hang himself in the couples bedroom. Janalyn tried to persuade Mike to rethink what he was about to do. Mike repeatedly attempted to kick the chair out from under him but was unsuccessful.

That's when Janalyn called 911. Police along with fire and rescue were dispatched to the suburban Indianapolis home. Rescue personnel were able to talk Vanderjagt down after about 10 minutes. Vanderjagt remained in an area hospital today in stable condition.

Awful. When I saw the title and read what was inside, it made me sick. I don't even know what to say...

That has to be a joke right? He couldn't kick the chair out from under him? He missed the field goal...he's a kicker..he couldn't kick the chair out...has to be a joke, albeit in bad taste. I hope it is a joke otherwise it's just really sad news to read.

Is that for real??? I don't see it on any of the major news sites.


I think it's a hoax...note the reference to "kicking the chair" and being "unsuccessful"...I smell bull****...

Man,

I hope that it's not a Hoax (well yeah I do, that way he's O.K.).....that would be a terrible thing to put out on the internet.

I'll have this thread killed until there is further verification.
