DMX has not regained any brain function for almost a week after his overdose, and the family may soon be faced with a troubling decision … whether they want to withdraw their life support.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, that the battery tests performed on X Wednesday showed no improvement in brain activity as he was rushed to hospital after suffering from OD late Friday night. As we reported, he had little brain function after depriving him of oxygen for almost half an hour.
DMX remains in a coma and, as we said, the test results are ‘not good’. We’re told that family X’s longtime friend and manager asked, Steve Rifkind, to fly to New York on Friday … another sign that hope is waning.
As we reported, there was already a massive proof of support for DMX. Hundreds of people – including his children, fiancée and mothers of some of his children – gathered outside the hospital on Monday night for a prayer vigil. We are told that only a limited number of family members were are allowed the ICU due to COVID-19 restrictions.
It is currently unclear when X’s family will make their decision on his medical future, although Rifkind told us earlier this week … tests were critical and once the results were in, ‘the family would determine what was best from there.’
