DMX on Life Support Following Heart Attack DMX on Life Support Following Heart Attack "It would be disingenuous of me to suggest that I am not a worried man," rapper's attorney says Daniel Kreps, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail Rolling Stone that he is currently hospitalized and on life support. TMZ first reported Saturday that DMX was in “grave condition” — two sources said the rapper is in a “vegetative state” or has “some brain activity” — after a reported drug overdose triggered a heart attack. DMX was rushed to a White Plains, New York hospital late Friday night and placed in the critical care unit. The rapper’s attorney, Murray Richman, could not confirm if the heart attack was drug-related.
