DMX is clinging to life in an ICU unit with few brain functions, but some relatives who have visited the rap icon are not giving up.
Family sources tell TMZ, X’s bride, Desiree Lindstromand mom, Arnett Simmons, were allowed to enter the ICU to visit DMX, although he is not responding. As we report, family sources tell us that some of their children are also coming for a visit and are hopeful that they will be able to enter.
TMZ first reported OD and the fact that he had limited brain function … the result of oxygen deprivation after his overdose on Friday night. A source with direct knowledge told TMZ that the prognosis does not look good.
Even so, the rapper’s family does not give up. DMX suffered a heart attack during OD, and family members hope that when the inflammation subsides, their heart will recover. Of course, this has no impact on the functioning of the brain.
Steve Rifkind, Manager of DMX, asks TMZ to send this message … “Please pray for him.”
