YONKERS, N.Y. — Police and paramedics saved rapstar DMX after he was found lifeless outside a hotel, LOHUD reported.
Ramada Hotel Inn manager Hari Shukla confirmed DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, had a medical issue Monday night.
Police rushed to the scene after receiving a call about an unresponsive man in the hotel’s parking lot, Detective Lt. Patrick McCormack told the news site. Simmons was on the ground next to a parked car in a “lifeless condition” with no pulse.
