As previously reported, Earl Simmons, also known as DMX, was hospitalized in April after suffering from a drug-induced heart attack and died a week later.
The rapper was on life support for some time in a “vegetative state” while unfortunately never made it out and shortly after passed away.
DMX was reported to have struggled for decades with drug addiction, and the artist has spoken openly about his battle with addiction several times in the past. DMZ shared that his drug use began during the early stages of his life when he was only 14-years-old and was given crack without his consent.
