Rick Ross has reportedly been put on life support after being hospitalized. The 42-year-old rapper fell ill at his home in Davie, Florida, with someone calling 911 at 3.30am on Thursday to say the person in distress was 'unresponsive with heavy breathing'.
The caller said the man in distress had a history of seizures and that they tried to wake him but he was 'slobbing out the mouth'.
According to TMZ Rick is being treated in the hospital's cardiac unit, and it is suspected the star suffered a heart attack which manifested itself in respiratory issues.
Ross' former girlfriend and mother of his son William Roberts III, told People, 'Pray for him.' TMZ also reports the Aston Martin Music rapper has been 'hooked up to a machine that's taking over the function of his heart and lungs' whilst he continues to undergo treatment at the hospital.
Sources tell TMZ Rick has been placed on ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is a technique used to oxygenate his blood outside of his body, before it's pumped back into his body.
A dispatch report of the incident from Davie Police Department said Ross became 'combative' when officers attended the scene and it added that he 'Boo-Blood on himself'
Another source told TMZ that the hip hop star was reportedly asked to make an appearance Thursday night, but a rep told him the mogul was in the hospital. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
