AceShowbiz - Hip-hop community was left dreading when it was reported that DMX, real name Earl Simmons, was rushed to the hospital on April 2. Reports swirled about what led to the hospitalization, before it was confirmed that he had a cocaine-induced heart attack.
For several days afterwards, his family and fans gathered around White Plains Hospital, where he was treated while he remained in critical condition, to send him prayers. Despite the outpouring support and love, the rap legend, who had fallen into a coma, never regained consciousness.
On April 9, one week after he was hospitalized, the "Party Up (Up in Here)" hitmaker lost functionality in multiple essential organs and was pronounced dead shortly after at age 50. He was honored during a "Celebration of Life" at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on April 24, followed by a funeral service at the Christian Cultural Center on the next day.
