Later in the day, Jimmy Hyams reported that, according to a UT police report, Kelly’s hospitalization was due to an apparent suicide attempt. The short version of the story is that Kelly and his girlfriend, both of whom had been drinking, got into an argument, he threatened to hurt himself, and then fell off a 30-foot retaining wall, at which point he was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment and evaluation.
Kelly now has posted another tweet:
