Hayden reportedly filmed himself beating Mr. Bledsoe and posted it on social media. Hayden had a history of violence. Bledsoe suffered four broken fingers, broken ribs, and a broken jaw in the attack. Mr. Bledsoe was depressed and was not eating properly following the attack, and died two months later. Bledsoe's death was not classified as a homicide. Hayden faced two counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, theft, and two counts of credit card theft in connection with the alleged beating. All charges were reportedly dropped because Hayden is mentally incompetent to stand trial. Hayden is now confined in a Kalamazoo psychiatric hospital.
