Another use for Twitter has been found – suicide prevention. That’s what Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos discovered after seeing a disturbing tweet from a Florida man.
The tweet from the Casselberry, FLA man said he was going to hang himself. Moore responded to the post asking “R U rlly asking 4 help?” The man sent several more messages to Moore.
Following that the Seminole Country Sheriff received phone calls from the West Coast, one of them being “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” star Nia Vardalos.
“Please call 1 800 SUICIDE . I’m on the phone with them right now. They are waiting to talk to you,” Vardalos wrote to the man.
She offered an update later saying “Just spoke to FL police again, they’re with [him] now. He is ok, it’s not a hoax. Thank u all for sending love,” she said. “I called suicide line, connected to FL police, I gave his name+city. They went to home, helped him.”
The man was taken to hospital by local police.
