Panic as ailing US rapper reportedly placed on life support

Ross was reportedly treated using a procedure called ECMO - a technique used to oxygenate his blood outside of his body before it's pumped back into his body.


TMZ reports that the 42-year-old Maybach Music Group
(MMG) boss was hooked up to a machine that is performing
the functions of his heart and lungs.
He is said to be currently getting treatment in the cardiatric
unit.
The procedure was described as ECMO, or extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation - a technique used to oxygenate his
blood outside of his body before it's pumped back into his
body.
It was reported on Friday that someone from the rapper's
home called 911 to report Ross' situation - he was said to be
breathing heavily and unresponsive on Thursday morning.
However, a rapper Fat Trel who is signed to Ross' label
debunked the report that he is on life support.
"JUS TALKED 2 MY BIG HOMIE... HE GOOD... HE IN DA
HOSPITAL BUT HE IS NOT ON “LIFE SUPPORT” ... HE GOOD,"
Trel wrote on Instagram.
But in a follow-up event, TMZ reported, with a supposed
photo proof, that Rick Ross' family raced to the hospital when
they learnt his condition had worsened.
