Bam Margera Placed in Psychiatric Hold After Suicide Concerns

Reports have emerged that Bam Margera, star of the hit show “Jacka**”, was placed in a psychiatric hold in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department was able to locate Margera by tracking his cell phone to Trejo’s Tacos, a restaurant owned by actor Danny Trejo.

Before he was found, Margera’s brother Jesse took to Twitter to ask fans for help in locating him. Jesse was in the process of trying to get the LAPD to “ping [Bam’s] phone” at the time.

Thankfully, a few hours later, Jesse posted an update on the situation, stating that Bam had been found safe. However, the situation was still concerning, as Bam had texted his family saying he had taken enough pills to stop his heart.

They found him safe he texted me and my parents at 6 am this morning saying he loves us he loves Phoenix and he is “at peace” and that he took enough pills to stop his heart. And some really heartbreaking dark shit. Thanks to everyone who shared info today.

Bam Margera Placed on Psychiatric Hold After Bizarre Incident

The troubled star has had a string of incidents over the past few months. Just days before Bam was detained for a psychiatric evaluation, he posted a video to social media, where he demanded to see his son Phoenix.

The “Viva La Bam” star is currently going through a divorce with his now-ex Nikki Boyd. He claimed he would “smoke crack with the bums down at the boardwalk until I’m dead unless you deliver me f***ing Phoenix.”

In March of this year, TMZ obtained video of Margera confronting Boyd in a Burbank, California, restaurant over not being able to see his 5-year-old son. He was later arrested for public intoxication.

The “Jacka**” star had a very public falling out with his co-stars of the franchise after he was removed from the last film. In a 2022 interview with Variety, co-star Johnny Knoxville said, “I love Bam. I know that a lot has happened. I just want him to get well for himself and his family. I love the guy, and I want him to get well and stay well.”

At the time, Steve-O, who has now been sober for 15 years, stated, “Bam had so many interventions. He was locked up in so many rehabs. By the time we were making this ‘Jack***’ movie, ‘Jack*** 4,’ there was just nothing … You know, they thought, ‘Maybe if we try this. You can be in the movie if you get healthy and stay sober.'”

“[E]ven still, he just didn’t have the power to stay sober and be healthy,” Steve-O added.
