JOSHUA ARDAL HOSPITALIZED AFTER SUICIDE ATTEMPT
The owner of the Bruno's Paradise chain of nightclubs and the lead vocalist of Libras, has been hospitalized early hours of Thursday morning after reports of Joshua drunkenly stumbling up the stairs to the roof of his 'Bruno's Palace' club at Elysian Island.
Reports claim that Joshua climbed to the 3rd floor of his 6-floor club and proceeded to fall, hitting the 2nd-floor balcony and then falling through supporting tarps before hitting the ground.
One witness who enjoys going to the club regularly said: "One minute he was okay, greeting people as they came into the club, and the next he is drunk and on the balcony. It happened so fast and none of us expected it. He always seems so happy."
Corey Lilard, the drummer of Libras and Joshua's long-time friend posted a Bleet not long after the incident, leading fans to suspect something had happened to Joshua.
"@joshuaardal you're strong, you can pull through this. Here's to making a full recovery."
After talking to Corey Lilard, we have discovered more information about what had happened. Lilard explained:
"Josh's mental health has been declining for some time now. He ended up getting addicted to drugs and was drinking a lot of alcohol. This isn't the first time he's tried doing this. Josh does have some underlying mental health problems which I will not discuss due to his privacy."
We asked Lilard if he would like to add anything, to which he replied: "I hope this haunts Henry Morgan for the rest of his life, and if Joshua doesn't pull through, I will haunt him myself."
Charlie Lordan, owner of ZONZA and Joshua's boyfriend has also spoken out on the situation.
"Words can not explain the hatred I have for Henry Morgan how dare he make Josh try what he did tonight hang tight JAB you'll make it through I love you x"
We have also questioned Charlie and asked him to explain in more detail about what has happened. He responded with:
"I need to give a brief explanation about Josh's head first, else this won't make sense. Me and Josh served in the military together, to which he developed severe PTSD. As for the other mental health issues, he has had these since before I knew him. The sickening part about all of this is the fact that Henry Morgan played with Josh's head purposely to push him over the edge. After Henry knew about what Josh has been through and what he has done to himself previously, he provoked him and told him to jump. All of the evidence has been given to the police."
After this statement, we asked Lordan if he would like to say anything else and he gave us two screenshots and wished not to discuss this further.
We will give updates when we receive them.
