'The Walking Dead' Actor Markice Moore Survives Suicide Attempt; Manager Says He Was Mourning Grandmother's Death

"The Walking Dead" actor Markice "Kesan" Moore tried to commit suicide this week and released a video about it, TMZ reports.

The actor was found unresponsive Tuesday morning by his friends in his Woodland Hills home. Moore, who played Andrew in the third season of "Walking Dead" as a prison survivor, overdosed on a mix of Xanax and Patron.

He survived the attempt after being rushed to the hospital. Moore has been released from a psychiatric hold and is currently undergoing therapy.

Moore was devastated by his grandmother's recent death, according to comments by his manager. The actor released a video telling his family and friends why he wanted to kill himself.

"At this time, Mr. Moore is focused on getting the help he needs and moving forward with his life to live it to the fullest," Moore's manager told Us Weekly.

"He has a bright future ahead of him that he is looking forward to. We ask that you respect his privacy while he is taking time to heal and keep Markice and his family in your prayers."

Moore was on "Walking Dead" for three episode. He made a guest appearance in "Army Wives" in 2010. He first rose to fame with MTV's "From G's to Gents," according to the Daily Mail.

But he has also received negative attention before. He was intially charged with cruelty to chidlren after assaulting his daughter in 2010. The next year, the charges were dismissed. He married his daughter's mother, and had another child.

Previously, Moore showed his support for The Walking Hope charity.

According to a change.org petition, the charity was being asked to stop parodying the hit AMC show.

"I run a charity brand called The Walking Hope to raise money for cancer research," said Bradley Egel. "The charity parodies a TV show I love, "The Walking Dead," and we've raised $30,000 last year. 30 members of the show's cast and crew have even participated! So I was angry and confused when the show's network, AMC, told us we had to shut our charity down. Please ask AMC to drop its legal threat against my cancer charity fundraiser."
