Earl Simmons, better known as rapper/actor “DMX”, was reportedly admitted to the Pirogov Hospital in Bulgaria early Monday morning, after being found “in a dog-like state”.

After multiple noise complaints and refusal to answer pounding doors, authorities visited a local motel of Sofia, Bulgaria. It was there that DMX was found, barking, snarling, and growling on all fours, as if possessed by Cujo himself. Carefully, police attempted to verbally communicate with DMX through both Bulgarian and English, but only received continued barking in response. But after a thirty-five minute standoff, DMX was detained with minor injuries.

For those who are familiar with rapper DMX and his history with drug abuse, most would guess it to be a drug related issue. The toxicology report is yet to be announced, but doctors have stated speculation of drugs playing a part in this sudden mental break.

That is all that Brazilian officials and Pirogov medical staff will release to the media at this time. More information will continue to surface as the story continues to unfold.
