A guy who killed a guy now wants to be killed. Or so reports are saying.

Jayson Williams, who played with the Nets for many years, but recently has been known for “accidentally” killing his limo driver with a shotgun, apparently tried to kill himself. The details:

Police were called to the hotel in Battery Park City in lower Manhattan around 4 a.m. after a report that the former New Jersey Nets star was suicidal, authorities said.

When officers arrived, there were empty bottles of prescription drugs strewn around the disheveled hotel suite of the 6-foot-10 Williams, police said.

Several suicide notes also were found, police sources told the New York Post. Cops came to the Embassy Suites hotel after a female friend told police that Williams was acting “suicidal” and “violent” in his room, according to the Post’s sources.

Several suicide notes? Doesn’t it just take one? I’ve got a good idea of how to successfully kill yourself — have your limo driver sit six feet from you with a 12-gauge shotgun and tell him to blow your chest open. That works better than pills. “Allegedly,” anyway.
