Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NEW YORK, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Singer-songwriter Alexa Ray Joel called 911 and told the operator she wanted to die after swallowing eight tablets of Traumeel, sources told the New York Post.
Traumeel is a homeopathic alternative to ibuprofen.
Joel, the 23-year-old daughter of rock 'n' roll icon Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, reportedly was hospitalized in Manhattan after she took the pills Saturday. Her friends and family have said she was upset over a failed romance.
The Post said EMS workers received a message from the 911 dispatcher saying: "Female caller. Took eight pills. Wants to die. Now feels funny. Wants to live."
A source told the newspaper Joel was discharged from the hospital Saturday night and spent Sunday with her parents.
One insider insisted Joel did not seriously intend to kill herself.
"It was more like a cry for help," the source said.
