2 actresses tweet teen's suicide threat

CASSELBERRY, Fla. - Actresses Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos were linked to an online chain of Twitter posts that ultimately led to Florida authorities' intervening yesterday when a young man threatened to commit suicide.

Moore's Twitter account, mrskutcher, was among those responding to a message from a man threatening to hang himself in Casselberry. Vardalos' eponymous account included a message that she had called a suicide hot line and been connected to Florida police.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said two callers reported the suicide threat on Twitter. There was no record of the callers' names, Lt. Sonia Pisano said. Deputies went to a home and took an uninjured male juvenile to a hospital, Pisano said.
