Ravens' Hayden Hurst says he attempted suicide while in college
Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst said his battle with depression led to a suicide attempt four years ago.
"I woke up in the hospital," Hurst told First Coast News this week. "I didn't know what happened. I had to have a friend fill me in. Apparently, I had been drinking and went into my apartment and cut my wrist. My friend found me in a puddle of blood. He called 911."
Hurst, who was a college football player at South Carolina at the time, drank and took pills on that night in January 2016 to the point where he blacked out.
He woke to find himself handcuffed to the bed and confined to a hospital for a 72-hour period for observation. It's what he calls his "come to Jesus moment."
