DMX is on life support at White Plains Hospital after suffering a heart attack, the rappers lawyer said on Saturday .

Im very sad about it, extremely sad. Hes like my son, the lawyer, Murray Richman, told The Associated Press. Hes just a tremendous person, tremendous entertainer, tremendous human being. And so much to offer, so much to say. Not the run-of-the-mill rapper. A person of great depth.
