‘Crazy’ Actor Lakeith Stanfield Threatens Suicide On Instagram

Actor Lakeith Stanfield has been trending on Twitter since, after he appeared to be threatening suicide last night on Instagram. Lakeith, who is rumored to have mental health issues, posted a series of pictures with his blood pressure medication and alcohol.

In one image, the actor can be seen mixing the alcohol and the medication together. The blood pressure medication, carvedilol, should never be mixed with alcohol.

Lakeith is an actor who made his feature film debut in the independent drama Short Term 12 (2013), an adaptation of the 2008 short film in which he had also appeared, for which he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.

According to the CDC, the mixture could cause a person’s blood pressure to decrease to dangerously low levels.

People immediately flooded his IG comments with concern. And eventually he told fans that he’s “fine.”

“I’m okay everyone! I appreciate everyone checking in on me but I’m good. I’m not harming myself. Much love,” he wrote.
