Ken Griffey, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Suicide attempt

In January 1988, Griffey, at the age of 18, attempted to commit suicide by swallowing 278 aspirin pills but wound up in intensive care in Providence Hospital in Mount Airy, Ohio.[58] Griffey, Jr. cited arguments with his father, Ken Griffey, Sr., depression, and anger as reasons for his attempted suicide.[59] On his failed attempt, Griffey, Jr. stated, "It seemed like everyone was yelling at me at baseball, then I came home and everyone was yelling at me there...I got depressed. I got angry. I didn't want to live."[59] He stated that he had before contemplated taking his own life, however, he had not acted on it until this incident.[59] After swallowing the aspirin, Griffey's girlfriend's mother drove him to the hospital.[59] While in intensive care, he ripped the IV from his arm in order to stop an argument between him and his father.[59] Both Griffey, Jr. and his father have stated that the incident changed their relationship, and there is now more "understanding" on both parts.[59]
