Doctor 'feared Locklear suicide bid'

Heather Locklear's doctor called 911 last weekend after fearing the actress may commit suicide, a report claims.

Paramedics rushed to the former Dynasty star's home last Saturday following a report of a suicide attempt, but left ten minutes later when she was found to be "fine".

Her publicist later dismissed the call as a hoax, saying: "She never requested medical assistance and did not place a 911 call. Nor did anyone from her house call 911 or place a call requesting medical assistance."

However, TMZ now claims that her doctor called for medical assistance after becoming concerned that she might overdose on depression medication. He is believed to have said: "I have a patient and I have a feeling she's suicidal."

The Ventura County Fire Department has released the tape with the "suicide" comment, reportedly prompting Locklear's representatives to threaten legal action.
