"Saturday Night Live" cast member Pete Davidson's Instagram account on Saturday appeared to have been deleted after he allegedly shared a post that suggested he did not "want to be on this earth anymore."

Davidson appeared to have posted on his Instagram account an image of a note in which he wrote that he was "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 situation prompted the New York Police Department to conduct a welfare check on the performer, a spokesman said. He didn't say what time or where the check took place.

Davidson was attacked by people on Instagram after he shared a post in which he supported Kanye West's commentary about mental health. West and Davidson's ex-fiance Ariana Grande had traded a few pointed comments about mental health on Twitter prior to Davidson's post.

Davidson and Grande broke off their engagement earlier this year, and both took a break from social media following the announcement that their relationship had ended.

Since Davidson came to "SNL," he has been fairly open about his own mental health struggles and his borderline personality disorder diagnosis. He often incorporates those challenges into his work on the show.

Many shared their support for Davidson and their disgust with those who bullied the comedian after he shared the post.

Am hearing Pete Davidson is at SNL and accounted for.



We are thinking of you, Pete.



You are loved.

We can be so insensitive. God bless Kanye & Pete. Being flippant about mental illness speaks more about you than them. Stop saying the word love & live it. Love is an action. — QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) December 15, 2018

Pete Davidson just posted what is essentially a suicide note and the majority of the comments on it are cruel and encouraging him to take his own life. Stan culture is a huge mistake. — Calvin (@calvinstowell) December 15, 2018

Davidson's representatives at NBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the post.

Instagram also did not immediately respond when asked whether they deleted Davidson's account or whether the comedian deleted the account himself.
