A spokesman from Hoboken police confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the tortured comic had been released from Jersey City Medical Center. The spokesman refused to comment on Lange’s condition stating privacy laws and that his family had instructed that no details be given to the media.

Lange stabbed himself nine times at his Hoboken apartment in New Jersey last weekend. His mother Judith Lange made a 911 call at 9:36 a.m. on Saturday, January 2, after finding her son bleeding on the floor.
