Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati's overdose on a prescription medication was accidental, a family representative tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Capriati, 34, took too much of an unidentified medication and is "recovering full and speedily," said the spokeswoman, adding that published reports calling it a suicide attempt are "completely inaccurate."
