TMZ Reports: Sources close to Michael Johns tell us he went to a doctor on Thursday to check out the pain he had been feeling in his ankle … the swelling and bruising had made their way up to his leg.
Doctors didn’t find any problems however — so they cleared him to go home.
We’re told the next afternoon at his friends apartment … Johns’ body was found on the couch unresponsive. When paramedics arrived, he was already dead.
