It is reported that Manning was being held in a hospital close to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas where he has been serving his sentence.

Mannings attorney Chase Strangio was unable to confirm the report to CNN, stating I am still trying to figure out what is happening. I have unfortunately not been contacted by Leavenworth and have no additional information.

However Colonel Patrick Seiber, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army did confirm that Manning had been hospitalized during the early hours of July 5th but was now located back at the barracks where U.S. Army officials continue to monitor the inmates condition.

It is unknown as to what condition Manning is currently in, as well as the reasons for Mannings attempted suicide, however one source told TMZ that his attempted method was hanging.
