The support and prayers have continued on and continue to grow in hopes of his recovery come from anyone on the social media world. In a statement on the TMZ website from a DMX representative, he says “…The Simmons Family appreciates the overwhelming outpouring of heartfelt love, encouragement, support, and prayers for Earl. Earl is someone whose life and music have been a source of inspiration and strength to so many people around the world. It is reassuring to see his fans return that same passion and energy to him during his time of need.”
Recently it has been reported that he is in a “vegative state” for the last four days. Including life support and stated as a being “in a coma” loved ones desire to know a prognosis. There is a chance the family would need to make difficult decisions but for now we have little to no information on his true state. Many rumors have circulated around the internet but all we know is that various tests will be run to determine his oxygen levels.
For now we wait and hope for a speedy recovery for DMX and his family.
