Infamous New York rapper DMX–a man with a history of drug problems–was found lifeless in a Ramada Inn last night. While there’s no definite signs his collapse was an overdose , there’s reason to believe it could be. Here’s the story from TMZ.
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.
A couple of reports mention that DMX’s collapse was because of asthma (a condition he famously suffers from), but DMX’s history of drug use coupled with a video he appeared in with G Eazy in which he looked back to his old user ways, make me believe there’s more to the story than that.

Tack onto the fact that a hit of Narcan brought him back to life, and I think you have me convinced.
