 DMX has died six (6) days after suffering a heart attack at his home. He was 50. The Grammy-nominated star, born Earl Simmons, died at White Plains Hospital in New York on Friday morning (9th April 2021). His family released the following statement to People: We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days. A statement from the Hospital in New York where DMX died said, "White Plains Hospital extends its deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Simmons, as well as his friends and legions of fans who expressed their unwavering support during this difficult time. Earl Simmons passed away peacefully with family present after suffering a catastrophic cardiac arrest." DMX was hospitalized in grave condition on 2nd April 2021 after suffering a heart attack at his home around 11pm. TMZ had reported that his heart attack was triggered by a drug overdose. Upon being admitted to White Plains Hospital in New York, his health was so critical that he was resuscitated and placed on life support. He was reportedly deprived of oxygen for nearly 30 minutes. In a statement released after news of DMX's hospitalization broke, a rep for DMX told TMZ, "Last night Earl 'DMX' Simmons was rushed to the Hospital after collapsing at home. At this time he remains in ICU in critical condition. Earl has been a warrior his entire life. This situation represents yet another road he must conquer." "The Simmons Family appreciates the overwhelming outpouring of heartfelt love, encouragement, support and prayers for Earl," he continued. "Earl is someone whose life and music have been a source of inspiration and strength to so many people around the world. It is re-assuring to see his fans return that same passion and energy to him during his time of need." A prayer vigil was held on Monday evening (5th April 2021) in his honor outside of the New York Hospital where he remained on life support following the heart attack he suffered last week. The ceremony, which began at 5pm, was hosted by the Ruff Ryders to the Rescue Foundation just outside of the White Plains Hospital. Hundreds of the star's loved ones, fans and supporters rallied together in celebration of his life and music legacy. On Wednesday (7th April 2021), DMX remained on life support as he was still in a coma, five (5) days after he was admitted at White Plains Hospital. Throughout the day, the late rap icon underwent a series of tests that revealed his level of brain function and activity following his heart attack and ultimately determined his family's decision regarding his life support. DMX, who rose to fame in the '90s, has been open about his battle with substance abuse after the star said he was introduced to drugs by an adult who he looked up to "like an older brother" when he was a child. Speaking during his November 2020 appearance on People's Party with Talib Kweli, DMX said the following while holding back tears: I loved this guy like an older brother, I didn't have any brothers. I would beat box and he would rap, then he suggested one time, 'Why don't you write a couple rhymes and I'll beat box for you?' That's where my first rhyme came to me. In 2017, DMX canceled a series of planned performances to re-enter a rehabilitation facility. He returned to rehab in 2019, shortly after he was released from prison on tax evasion charges. In 2000, DMX won the American Music Award (AMA) for favorite artist in the hip-hop rap category. He was nominated for the AMA award once more in 2001. The hitmaker has been nominated for five (5) MTV Video Music Awards, including best breakthrough video. DMX has earned three (3) Grammy Award nominations over the course of his decades-long career, including best rap solo performance for his smash hit song "Party Up (Up in Here)" and best rap album for his fan-favorite "...And Then There Was X" — both nominations came in 2000. In 2001, he was up for the Grammy Award for best rap solo performance for "Who We Be." DMX has also appeared in fifteen (15) films, including Belly, Fast and Fierce: Death Race and Romeo Must Die — the latter alongside Jet Li and fellow hitmaker Aaliyah (who died in 2001 at age 22). The star has also made several TV appearances, including guest starring roles in South Park, Moesha, Half and Half, Fresh Off the Boat and Eve. DMX is survived by his fifteen (15) children.

 UPDATE: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, has released the following statement following the death of Prince Philip: By any measure, Prince Philip lived an extraordinary life - as a naval hero in the Second World War, as the man who inspired countless young people through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and, above all, as Her Majesty The Queen's loyal consort. Queen Elizabeth II's husband of nearly seventy-three (73) years, Prince Philip, has died at age 99. The announcement was made today (Friday 9th April 2021) by Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Edinburgh has had major health issues recently and was hospitalized back in February for his heart. It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip was also hospitalized briefly in December 2020, but was released to join the Queen in time for Christmas. In January 2019 he was involved in a dramatic car crash in which he was the driver. He was unhurt, but decided to voluntarily turn in his driving license afterward, at the age of 97. He retired from his official royal duties in August 2017 at the age of 96 after sixty-five (65) years of service. Born a Prince of Greece and Denmark on the island of Corfu in 1921, he married the Queen—then still Princess Elizabeth—in 1947, when he was 26 and she was 21. They were third cousins, both descended from Queen Victoria. Prince Philip, spent much of his adult life walking a step or two behind his wife, accompanying her to state dinners, garden parties and charitable events. Behind the scenes he was credited with working to push the monarchy to be more open and accessible to the British public. He was also affiliated with some 800 organizations, including numerous charities. Prince Philip carried out his public duties until August 2017, when he made his final official appearance at a Royal Marine parade at Buckingham Palace. Known for his sometimes outspoken remarks, Prince Philip treated his role as consort as an act of duty above anything else. “It’s the customer that needs to be satisfied, not me,” he said during a documentary of his life, aired around his 90th birthday. “I don’t do it for my own amusement.” His passing marks the start of a generational transition for Britain’s royal family, which has been a bastion of stability for the nation since Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1952. Queen Elizabethis increasingly stepping back from royal duties, with their eldest son, Prince Charles, and grandson Prince William taking up the mantel. Prince Philip is survived by the Queen, their four (4) children (Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward), eight (8) grandchildren (including Prince William and Prince Harry), and eight (8) great-grandchildren, including the youngest heir to the throne - Prince George. He was the oldest-ever male British Royal at the age of 99. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates. [Source: The Wall Street Journal]
 Ten (10) people, including a Police Officer, were killed yesterday afternoon (Monday 22nd March 2021) after a gunman opened fire in a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. The attack unfolded just before 3pm local time, as customers in the King Soopers store waited in line for COVID-19 vaccines and shopped. According to CNN, among those killed was 51-year-old Officer Eric Talley, who was the first Police Officer to respond to the scene. Talley joined the Boulder Police force in 2010. "He was, by all accounts, one of the outstanding Officers of the Boulder Police Department, and his life was cut far too short," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. Police have not yet released details about the rest of the victims as they needed time to notify their families first. A suspect is in custody, but so far Police have declined to comment on his identity, a motive or the specific weapon used. One senior law enforcement source told CNN the weapon used in the shooting was an AR-15-style rifle. Boulder Police tweeted about 2:49pm local time that there was an "Active Shooter at the King Soopers on Table Mesa. AVOID THE AREA." In scanner traffic, Officers radioed that they were in a gunfight. They continued to report that they were being fired at with multiple rounds through at least 3:21pm local time. Ambulances and multiple law enforcement agencies arrived at the store, which is part of a large shopping center with a two-story strip mall next door. "He's armed with a rifle, our Officers shot back and returned fire -- we do not know where he is in the store," an Officer said, according to a transcript of the audio. The shooting comes just days after another mass murderer took the lives of eight (8) people at spas around Atlanta. Together, these tragedies have renewed calls for stricter gun control legislation.

One witness, Ronnie Williams told CNN Affiliate KGTV, "The way he was driving down the sidewalk, it was like he didn't take his foot off the gas until he got to the other side of the street. I'm like whoa! Is this guy ever gonna stop?" Williams said the driver exited his car and hid his face and "casually walked away." Another witness, Michael Luke, told KGTV the driver stayed at the scene and looked distraught. "I saw the wagon move over and things just started popping up...and the dragging...Horrific," said Luke.

 UPDATE 2: Firefighters used a Halligan tool to extricate Woods, freeing him from the car via the window. They did not, contrary to their initial statement, use the “jaws of life” to break open the car. UPDATE: Woods’ Agent, Mark Steinberg, said he sustained multiple leg injuries and is currently in surgery. “Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries.

He was the sole occupant of the vehicle. Officials said the crash occurred around 7:12am local time and the vehicle sustained "major damage” (see photo above). The “jaws of life” had to be utilized in order to extricate him from the wreck. LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT 45-year-old Woods was in the area for his annual Genesis Invitational Golf Tournament at the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades. He previously crashed his SUV in a 2009 high-profile incident at his home in Florida and in 2017 he was arrested after Police found him passed out behind the wheel of his car.
