Provo, Utah ? King’s wife recovering from apparent OD

A spokesman for Larry King said Wednesday that the talk-show host’s wife is recovering after an apparent prescription drug overdose last month in Utah.

Emergency medical workers were called to Shawn King’s home in Provo on May 28. Her father dialed 911 after finding the 50-year-old woman in her bed, breathing but not responding when he tried to wake her, according to a transcript of the emergency call, which was released through an open-records request Wednesday.

Karl Engemann told the dispatcher that he thought she may have taken too much medication for anxiety or depression.

Officers who responded to the call found several prescription bottles, including Ambien and anti-anxiety medication, that had been filled within 10 days but were empty, according to a police report. It also said there was a handwritten note that indicated she had taken the pills intentionally.

Another note expressed Shawn King’s desire to be buried in Utah, police said.
