The manager of the Yonkers Ramada told reports that Simmons was not breathing when first responders were called.

Police wouldn’t identify the person they resuscitated, saying only that it was a 45-year-old Mount Kisco resident who wasn’t breathing and had no pulse when Yonkers police and Empress Ambulance personnel revived.

First responders managed to resuscitate the man, who they rushed to a nearby hospital.

DMX was released Tuesday morning and is recovering. He has a concert scheduled for Saturday in Reading, PA.; his lawyer says he is planning on performing.

Asked if Simmons told him whether he had taken any drugs Monday night, the lawyer replied, "No comment."

​Simmons made headlines recently in Westchester after a series of arrest warrants were issued in connection with an ongoing Family Court divorce and child-support case.

 His lawyer said at the latest court hearing, in December, that the rapper was on tour trying to earn a living and meet his child-support obligations, chalking up his failure to appear in court to a misunderstanding..

Simmons had other legal troubles in 2015 as well. He was accused of robbery at a Newark gas station after a performance in April, and was sentenced to six months in a Buffalo jail in July for failing to pay $400,000 in child support. He was released in September.

He also made an appearance on an ABC sitcom, "Fresh off the Boat," in December.
