Teen Mom star Amber Portwood was rushed to the hospital in Indiana today, and reports from TMZ state that she threatened to take her own life. Cops in Anderson, Ind., say someone called police from Amber’s home claiming the 21-year-old “was depressed and threatening to end her life.” Amber Portwood did not appear to be injured when the cops arrived and she was promptly taken to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation. Amber is still in the hospital. Keep her in your thoughts. It’s unclear why Portwood was in shambles, but she and baby daddy Gary Shirley had actually been on relatively good terms in the last couple of months. It’s also unclear if this will affect season three of Teen Mom , which is set to begin next month and reunites Portwood with the rest of the original cast. More details to follow as the story develops … UPDATE : A police statement confirms that at 11:34 a.m. Anderson Police were called to a residence in the 1300 block of Pleasant Meadow Drive. According to the caller, Amber was threatening to end her life. She did not appear injured, and was transported to a medical facility for evaluation. An Anderson police source also confirms that the phone call was not made by Amber Portwood at her home, but by “a relative” at a different location. The relative advised the authorities to check on Amber. A source says Gary Shirley’s mother was the one who made the phone call to the police. An inside source reports the following: “Two policemen arrived, found her face-up on the couch and immediately called for an ambulance. When two EMT workers arrived, they removed the rope that Amber had loosely knotted around her neck.” “They tried speaking with her, but she was in and out of consciousness and couldn’t respond; she was just moaning. They gave her an oxygen mask, put her on a gurney, and rushed her to the hospital.” Amber is currently still being evaluated in St. Johns Hospital. [Photo: Fame Pictures]
