Artie Lange Attempts Suicide - Stabs Himself 9 Times

Howard Stern sidekick, comedian, and troubled drug addict Artie Lange was admitted to the hospital last week for undisclosed reasons.

Today we learn why there was so much secrecy - Lange apparently stabbed himself nine times in a failed suicide attempt that almost killed him.

The New York Post is reporting then Lange's mother found him in his apartment Saturday morning and called 911.

The comedian had three life threatening deep stab wounds and six minor wounds.

He was treated in time to save his life.

As part of the Sirius XM radio, and Howard Stern family, Lange will be welcomed back once he recovers according to reports according to Stern.

Stern and company have been silent since Artie's disappearance from the show last month, and have only made minor comments on air about the comedian.
