Yes it is horrifying. He will now survive the injuries from his jump, be on suicide watch for an indefinite period, hopefully get some kind of mental treatment, and will have to live with his decision to cut of his penis.
Assuming he comes down to earth and becomes clear headed again, that would be a living hell that I would not wish upon anyone.
Quite right. Thanks for the assist
Bolding mine.
‘Detachable’?! If it were detachable, he wouldn’t have had to sever it.
Yes. He definitely has more problems than he did. I feel so guilty for my initial snickering. I hope there’s some peace for him somehow.
When I first read the title on the news blurb I thought the penis was somehow severed in the fall and I wondered how that could happen. What actually happened makes more sense even though it makes no sense.
It’s too bad they could not reattach Johnson’s johnson, that’s not going to help his mental health. But I hear they have had some success growing genitals in a lab, maybe he can get a new one?

They are all detachable.
Once.
[nitpick] Sir, you forget yourself (or at least the name of the band). That is King Missle (ne Dog Fly Religion), not Depeche Mode. [/nitpick]
And as to the OP, I’d only be surprised if it didn’t happen on Earth. Let’s hope he gets some effective mental health care.
Why’s everyone assuming he’s mentally ill? More likely, he took some bad drugs.
Why do you think that that’s “more likely”? Can you name another case where someone mutilated their own genitals due to “bad drugs”?
Here’s a review on the topic. The most common cause seems to be psychosis, as I said. The runners up are transvestism, body dysmorphic issues and religious mania.
Can’t find a cite ATM specific to penis-torture, but drugs like crack and PCP can make people do really crazy things.
I’m just baffled why you & everyone else must assume he’s a crazy person, before all the facts have been examined.
I did not call him a crazy person. Even if he took drugs coming to his senses and finding out he doesn’t have a penis anymore is not going to help his emotional well-being and mental health. Which is pretty much what I meant.
If it was “detachable”, they would have been able to reattach it.
Absent further information, I’d bet it was drugs being the mostly likely thing.
This just in!
E! reports: Source “close to the situation” says he used a serrated steak knife, cut it off in several separate pieces, and was on PCP.

He sure gon’ be surprised when he finds out what he did to himself.
Now that that’s settled…
…I wonder if Ginsu will ask him for an endorsement.
Well, there’s a thread right now on the Dope that he could have the “wins the thread” entry for: “What was the most painful thing you ever did?”
They’re still waiting to hear back from O.J. Simpson.
My last name isn’t Johnson, but my Mom’s maiden name is. The Johnsons came from Virgina by way of Kentucky, to central Indiana. It’s a family tradition that we’re related to Robert E. Lee’s family. 
Maybe he accidentally cut his junk off and was so distraught he threw himself off a building?
