Although DMX's people have reportedly downplayed his health crisis, claiming the 45-year-old rapper suffered an asthma attack, a new report claims he actually suffered a drug overdose and was left with no pulse.

"Yonkers cops responded to a call about an unconscious male at a Ramada Inn just after 6 PM. We're told when cops arrived DMX was on the ground in the parking lot next to a parked car. Cops quickly determined he was lifeless, not breathing with no pulse and immediately began CPR," TMZ reported on Tuesday.

Luckily for DMX, his pulse returned after one minute of CPR, and he is reportedly in a stable condition at this time.

"A witness on scene told cops DMX had ingested some sort of powder before lapsing into unconsciousness," the report continued. "Cops gave him Narcan, an antidote to narcotic ODs. DMX became 'semi-conscious' and was taken to the hospital."

Last night, TMZ was told a different story in regard to the incident involving the rapper. At that time, sources close to DMX claimed he was outside of the Ramado hotel when he began complaining of "shortness of breath and pain in his chest." However, while his entourage attempted to get his inhaler to him, DMX later collapsed.

It was also noted in the prior report that DMX had received breathing treatments at the hospital.
