The 48-year-old celebrity blogger has been hospitalized after police were dispatched to his Miami home following reports of self-harm during a TikTok livestream on August 4.
“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was livestreaming self-harm activities on social media,” authorities told E! News in a statement on August 5. “Deputies immediately located the man’s residence, where they spoke with family members at the scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”
After some time, officials noted that they were able to make contact.
“The man has been safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention,” police told E! News in a follow-up statement. “The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and licensed mental health professionals are also providing support and resources to the man’s family.”
