He explained that he went to Vegas for the iHeartRadio Music Festival events, a photoshoot with Mariah Carey, and also caught Janet Jackson’s show.

After sleeping for just around three hours, he woke up and spent time with his best friend, Jim Bower. He added that he wasn't hungry and wasn't drinking much water.

Jay further explained that he went to bed at 8 p.m. However, around two hours later, he woke up feeling uneasy.

"Seven o'clock I put my computer on, I put some shows on, and by eight o'clock, I fell asleep. I was like, it was about eight o'clock, and I fell asleep. I wake up at 10:00 p.m. out of a sound sleep, and something doesn’t feel right. I felt like my heart was beating really, really fast, and my head felt hazy. I started to panic because it was a way I’ve never felt before. All of a sudden, my shirt was drenched. Soaked," he said.

"I'm crawling on the floor": Jay Towers describes waking up unconscious

Furthermore, in his aforementioned radio show, Jay Towers shared that after waking up uneasy, he decided to call the front desk, which eventually did not connect.

He explained that he went unconscious for a while and woke up crawling on the ground with blood on his hands.

"And honestly, this is the part like I don't know what happened next. But the next thing I know is now I'm like crawling on the floor and I'm looking at my hand. So I passed out, and I thought I hit maybe the nightstand of the bed, or I don't know what I hit. At this time, I have no clue," he explained.

He finally hit the room service button on the phone and told them about his situation.

"So I'm trying to find this phone, and I hit either the room service button. You know the phones have buttons at the top front desk room. So I hit a button, and I said 'I'm bleeding. I'm on the floor and I don't know what's wrong, and can you like send somebody?'"

Subsequently, he explained that he went on to unlock the door and passed out again.

"I pass out again over and there's like these two nice chairs and a little table by the front door, like the kind of your entrance way. So I must have passed out on top of the chair because the chair was flipped over. I was on the floor. And that's when the security came in."

The security was followed by paramedics, who checked his blood pressure; the top number was 60. He also explained that the cut was so deep his skull was visible, which required stitches. Jay was also told he was severely dehydrated and was advised to see a cardiologist.

He further explained that he was nervous being in the hotel room by himself after the incident, stating:

"I was terrified after that. Listen, and all the jokes aside, like I honestly, that was scary. When you're bleeding and wake up passed out on the floor and see blood everywhere and you don’t know what happened, it’s scary."

Jay Towers also confirmed that he was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol during the incident, clarifying that he had one drink two days before it.
