Johnathan Koppenhaver a.k.a. War Machine attempted to end his life earlier this week, just a few days before former girlfriend, porn star Christy Mack, is scheduled to appear in a Las Vegas courtroom to detail the physical assault at the hands of the former mixed martial arts fighter that left her hospitalized with multiple broken bones.
According to News 3, Koppenhaver was unresponsive when found by a correctional officer making his rounds around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Clark County Detention Center in Vegas.
"On Oct. 14, at approximately 9:30 p.m., a corrections officer was conducting routine walk-throughs inside the Clark County Detention Center when he noticed inmate Koppenhaver in a seated position on the floor with his feet resting on the bunk," said Metro Officer Jose Hernandez.
Koppenhaver had a piece of linen wrapped around his neck in an attempt to hang himself. His face was purple when the C.O. cut the ligature from his neck. At that point he was able to breathe and responded by attempting to speak. A suicide note was found in his cell.
He has since been moved to a medical isolation cell where he is now on suicide watch.
