Legendary rapper DMX has now been officially declared dead, a week after he fell into a coma, following a heart attack “triggered” by a drug overdose.
He was aged 50. The Westchester County native was born Earl Simmons.
The drug overdose had left him in a “vegetative state”, after his brain was deprived of oxygen for nearly 30 minutes following his OD, brain function never returned, and by Thursday his organs began failing while he remained in intensive care in the hospital.
His death today at White Plains Hospital, in New York, was confirmed to AP by his family.
DMX is survived by 15 children.
His career began when he catapulted to the top of the charts with his 1998 debut album “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot.”
The debut record went platinum nearly five times over and peaked at No. 1 on the US charts.
