Bam Margera Placed On 5150 Psychiatric Hold After Suicide Threats

Jackass Star Bam Margera Placed On 5150 Psychiatric Hold

Former Jackass star Bam Margera has been placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold amid growing concerns for his welfare.

Margera was taken to a mental health facility. Under California code 5150, he will remain in the facility for up to 72 hours. Just days ago, he demanded access to his son or threatened to smoke crack until he died.

“I haven’t seen Phoenix in two f-cking months and I am so f-cking fed up. I cry every day, I miss him so much and I know I have to wake up everyday knowing that I probably won’t get to talk to him or see him,” he says in the video.

“I am going to smoke crack with the bums down at the boardwalk until I am dead or unless you deliver me f-cking Phoenix. So get to work Nikki or anybody that wants to help. I want Phoenix.”

The reality TV star, 43, had been reported missing by his brother at the weekend who shared a plea on social media to locate him.

Jess Margera asked his Twitter followers to contact police immediately if they had a sighting of the star. He wrote: “I am trying to ping his phone but as usual it’s a whole huge process and I don’t think we have that kind of time.”

It was said by Jess that Bam had sent his family members a text which made them fear he was suicidal.
