— DMX denies taking any powder or drugs. He says all he remembers is having shortness of breath after suffering bronchitis for a couple of days.
A family member says X asked for his inhaler (for asthma) right before he fell unconscious. They were not able to get it to him in time. He’s still in the hospital.update_grey_gray_barDMX was at death’s door Monday night, not breathing, without a pulse and the signs point to an overdose.
It’s a lot worse than the story DMX’s people were putting out … that he suffered an asthma attack.
Yonkers cops responded to a call about an unconscious male at a Ramada Inn just after 6 PM. We’re told when cops arrived DMX was on the ground in the parking lot next to a parked car. Cops quickly determined he was lifeless, not breathing with no pulse and immediately began CPR.
After a minute of CPR X’s pulse came back.
A witness on scene told cops DMX had ingested some sort of powder before lapsing into unconsciousness. Cops gave him Narcan, an antidote to narcotic ODs. DMX became “semi-conscious” and was taken to the hospital.
We’re told DMX appears to be in stable condition and at this time, no criminal charges are expected.
Short story … cops saved his life.
