After tweeting his good-byes and threatening to leap to his death off the Brooklyn Bridge, Michael Lohan's Twitter account abruptly went dead early Monday morning. What on earth just happened?

Adrian and I briefly contemplated dropping everything and rushing to the bridge for the first-ever Gawker night editor suicide intervention to save Michael Lohan, but transport to the Brooklyn Bridge from our respective apartments is sort of a bitch, and while we were haggling, Michael's tweets all disappeared. Here's his Twitter before, from an Allie Is Wired screengrab:


And after:


Twitter hack? Drunk texting? Honest-to-god near-death microblog experience? A few initial points of inquiry:

• 1. If he was en route to the bridge, why did he send the tweets "from Web," suggesting he was seated at his computer, as opposed to on his Blackberry in a car?
• 2. Why would he only say good-bye to Lindsay?
• 3. Can a user delete all their tweets at once without deleting their user page? Their simultaneous disappearance of all of Michael's tweets suggests something more drastic than individual tweletion.

Were you on the Brooklyn Bridge a little after 2AM? Tell us what you saw.
