War Machine attempted to hang himself in his Las Vegas prison cell, only to have his attempts thwarted by a corrections officer.
According to TMZ the incident went down like this:
Tuesday night around 9:30 an officer was walking by War Machine’s cell in Clark County Jail. The officer saw him sitting on the ground with his feet up on the bunk bed. When the officer called to him he was unresponsive.
The officer went into the cell and found the ex-MMA fighter had a piece of linen around his neck which was tied to the leg of the bed — and his face was purple. The officer cut the linen, removed it … and we’re told War Machine’s breathing became less strained and he attempted to speak.
He is currently being held in medical isolation on suicide watch. The officer who found him also discovered a suicide note beside him. He will remain in jail as he awaits the trail for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend and ex-porn star Christy Mack.
