CNN reports that the troubled singer has been placed on suicide watch in federal custody, where he is currently being held behind bars. His lawyer Jennifer Bonjean reassurethat he did NOT commit suicide, make it clear,

“The irony is that putting someone on a suicide watch when they’re not suicidal is that it actually causes more harm.”

Bonjean said prosecutors said he was put on the suicide list because he was famous. She added,

“It’s the punishment for being senior. And it was horrifying. Letting someone commit suicide under those conditions is cruel and unusual when they don’t need it.”
