Pete Davidson, the “Saturday Night Live” star and ex-fiancé of the singer Ariana Grande, appeared to have deleted his Instagram account on Saturday shortly after posting a troubling message that began: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore.”
A police officer was sent to the Manhattan studios of “Saturday Night Live” to check on him, and separately, an NBC representative contacted the New York Police Department to say Mr. Davidson was at work and was fine, the police said.
In his deleted post, Mr. Davidson wrote: “I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so.” The note ended with a heart emoji.
