Rick Ross, who was rushed to the hospital on Thursday morning, has taken a critical turn and is battling for his life.
TMZ reports that Ross now requires the assistance of machines to keep his heart and lungs performing.
Rick is in a Miami area hospital getting treatment in the cardio unit — a strong sign he might have suffered a heart attack which manifested itself as respiratory issues early Thursday morning.
We’re told doctors have put him on something called ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It’s a technique used to oxygenate his blood outside of his body, before it’s pumped back into his body.
UPDATE:
Rick Ross’ family says he is fine and not on ECMO, they also denied he was at the hospital, but we know he is indeed at the hospital.
