David Pajo, best known as the guitarist in Slint, is in the hospital recovering after surviving a suicide attempt.

Reportedly, Pajo attempted to hang himself after posting a harrowing suicide note onto his blog that was directed at his ex-wife. Fans that saw the post and contacted the authorities and Pajo’s family may have saved Pajo.

Fans have also stepped in onto Pajo’s facebook page, where a post was made asking for “our love and support.” Pajo has also posted onto Instagram and Facebook an image of him giving the camera a thumbs up.
