 DMX: Not Breathing, No Pulse 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 8:30 AM PT -- DMX denies taking any powder or drugs. He says all he remembers is having shortness of breath after suffering bronchitis for a couple of days. 
 
 A family member says X asked for his inhaler (for asthma) right before he fell unconscious. They were not able to get it to him in time. He's still in the hospital. DMX was at death's door Monday night, not breathing, without a pulse and the signs point to an overdose. 
 
 It's a lot worse than the story DMX's people were putting out ... that he suffered an asthma attack. 
 
 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. 
 
 After a minute of CPR X's pulse came back. 
 
 A witness on scene told cops DMX had ingested some sort of powder before lapsing into unconsciousness. Cops gave him Narcan, an antidote to narcotic ODs. DMX became "semi-conscious" and was taken to the hospital. 
 
 We're told DMX appears to be in stable condition and at this time, no criminal charges are expected.

 NEW YORK (AP) — An attorney for DMX said the rapper has recovered after he was resuscitated by police outside Yonkers, New York hotel on Monday. 
 
 Murray Richman said Tuesday that the artist, whose given name is Earl Simmons, is out of the hospital. 
 
 Yonkers Police Detective Lt. Patrick McCormack said officers responded to a Ramada Inn, where they found a 45-year-old man with no pulse in the parking lot. McCormack said privacy laws prevented him from identifying the man, but that the man was given an opioid reversal medication by paramedics. 
 
 Richman confirmed his client had stopped breathing, but Richman said he did not know the cause. Richman said the rapper suffers from asthma. 
 
 McCormack said the man resumed breathing after officers performed CPR and gave him oxygen.
