shawnnewpic230.jpgShawn King is "terrific" this morning, according to her dad, Karl Engemann who says reports of her being suicidal are "crap."

Engemann tells X17online exclusively:

    "This was in no way a suicide attempt. My daughter is not suicidal. Shawn is fine and terrific. In fact, she's loving life right now."


In a 9-1-1 tape from May 28 that has surfaced on the web, Engemann can be heard telling the dispatcher that he can't wake his daughter up. The two had travelled to Utah for business, and had just seen each other the night before. He says on tape that he believes Shawn may have accidentally overmedicated herself.

However, the dispatcher did ask if she was suicidal, and Engemann replied, "no." While being recorded, King's father says that she's been taking medication for depression and menopause.

This comes just months after Shawn and husband of 12 years, Larry King, filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." They've since stopped the divorce proceedings.

X17 cameras caught up with Larry King this morning and asked about the 9-1-1 call. While chatting on his cell phone, the talk show host stayed mum, avoiding the question.
