JAILED Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius has denied rumours he attempted to take his own life while in jail for murder.
The six-time Paralympic gold medallist is serving a six-year sentence after shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, and was hospitalised at the weekend as reports emerged the South African had been injured while imprisoned.
Pistorius is said to have suffered damage to his wrist, leading to rumours of an attempted suicide, though these were quashed by uncle Carl Pistorius, who claimed that Pictorius had simply “slipped in his cell”.
