Later he was transferred to Cedar-Sinai Hospital, where Cynthia Harding, a hospital spokeswoman, confirmed Wilson is in good condition

Meanwhile, the suicide attempt wasn’t confirmed by any of Wilson’s reps and, according to some media reports such as New York Daily News, the star was taken to the hospital last night for dehydration.
