Artie Lange Page 6: NY Post Page Six Reports Artie Lange Suicide Attempt

Artie Lange Page 6 news is making the rounds today… the New York Post’s Page Six reports that Artie Lange attempted suicide by stabbing himself, and that’s what recently landed the Howard Stern sidekick in the hospital.

The Page Six Artie Lange item details the suicide attempt:

“Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post. Lange’s frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six “hesitation wounds” and three deep plunges. A source close to Lange’s management team confirmed that the Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food. Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding.”

Howard Stern mentioned the Artie Lange Page 6 item on the air this morning, but did not read it, saying, “I’m sorry. I just feel sick about this, I don’t know what to do.”

Howard Stern did discuss Lange briefly, touching on his drug abuse issues that caused Lange’s absence from the show since December and talked about some Lange highlights before saying, “I don’t want this to sound like a eulogy.”

Stern has not talked to Lange, but commented, “I’m just freaked out, I don’t know what the hell to do. If Artie wants to talk to me, he’ll call me. I only wish him well. I don’t know what’s going to be. This is just too much, too much to bear. My thoughts go to his mother and sister who I’m sure are in great pain. That’s mind-blowing.”
