His father, Hawaii state Senator Mike Gabbard, said his son had recently experienced a mental health crisis. “Our oldest son Bhakti has had mental issues in the past but has been doing well for the last 10 years,” he said in a statement obtained by KITV. “Several days ago, he started acting erratically, as a result of smoking pot. His wife kicked him out of the house, so he’s been sleeping on the streets. “He gave away his car to a homeless person; lost his ID and phone and has no money. He’s renamed himself, Batarti, and also Jim Morrison Jr., as he’s having delusions of being a rock star.”
