Warning: this article contains mentions of drugs and substance abuse

Jess Margera used the power of social media in hopes of finding his brother, Bam Margera after he couldn’t locate his whereabouts.

The Jackass star shared his calls for help on social media, asking anyone in the L.A. area if they’d seen him anywhere. He also urged people to contact the LAPD if spotted since he doesn’t have time to ping his brother’s phone. He also urged his followers to retweet his post in hopes it could reach more people that could help him.

Fortunately, Jess gave an update 9 hours after the initial tweet. He replied to a fan who was concerned that Bam may have overdosed. Jess assured concerned fans that he was found and is safe and sound and that he texted his family at 6 a.m. However, his brother admitted that he “took enough pills to stop his heart.”

Jess has been concerned about his brother for quite some time. He once revealed on Twitter that his brother is a nice guy but became “unrecognizable” the moment he got addicted. Bam has been reported multiple times in the past to be on the run from local authorities, as well as leaving rehab early. The boys’ mother, April, once called for help when she learned that Bam was on the run from Pennsylvanian police.

Bam is known for his stunts and his appearances on the MTV reality TV show as well as its feature films. In the wake of his success, the actor delved into substance abuse, to the point of being removed from the production of Jackass Forever. Back in March 2023, Bam was arrested for public intoxication and allegedly involved in domestic violence incident.
