In what could have been the end
to an already deeply tragic story, DMX was found unresponsive in a
Yonkers hotel room after police responded to a call about an unconscious
male. When the cops arrived, X is reported to have not been breathing
and the first responders could not register a pulse. Thankfully, these
officers were able to administer CPR and the Ruff Ryders emcee regained
consciousness after a minute, according to TMZ.
The report indicates that a witness at the scene told
the police that they saw X ingest a powder before falling unconscious.
The police also reportedly gave X a drug used to combat the effects of a
drug overdoses. DMX was taken to a nearby hospital we he remains in
stable condition. X denies having taken any drugs and says that all he
remembers is having shortness of breath before blacking out.
DMX’s history with drugs has
been well-documented at this point, but he and his family continue to
deny that it played a role in this latest health setback, for the dog
citing his long history with asthma as the culprit. Whatever the cause,
let’s hope that DMX can get back on track from both a health and a
personal perspective and live a long and fruitful live going forward
with or without music.
Update: DMX has been released from the hospital and resting, according to a statement his attorney gave the AP. Swizz Beatz appears to also had contact with X since he tweeted “”He’s good and in great spirits.”(Via TMZ)
