George Anthony Suicide Attempt

The grandfather of slain Florida toddler Caylee Anthony was in stable condition Friday after he was taken to a hospital over concerns that he might be suicidal.

A spokeswoman for the Daytona Beach hospital said George Anthony would be admitted to a hospital room after being observed. Anthony was found early Friday at a Daytona Beach hotel after he was reported missing for several hours.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood told reporters that Anthony sent text messages to family members indicating he "wanted to end his life."

Police also found a "five to six page suicide letter," he had written, a police spokesman told NBC News. Anthony had not tried to harm himself, the spokesman said.

Anthony's daughter, Casey Anthony, has been charged with killing Caylee. The child was not reported missing for nearly a month after she vanished.

I feel bad for George: his beloved granddaughter is dead, his daughter is accused of murder, the press is in his face all the time, and being married to Cindy can't be easy under the best of circumstances. But at least they didn't wait a month to report him missing.
