“For the last month I’ve received hundreds of hateful messages and unending harassment related to my account being hacked,” Josh wrote in his statement. “I wish I was stronger but I can’t take any more and am logging off of social media for good and am checking myself into a wellness facility now to try to get some kind of handle on my mental health. I am losing my phone in the next hour. I love you all. To the people sending me death threats, you win.”

Josh recently explained why he waited 18 hours to tell everyone that he was actually alive after the alleged hoax.
