Well-known Industry Executive, Lyor Cohen (or as DMX was say Li-ar Cohen) has been recently hospitalized since Saturday after suffering a pulmonary embolism, according to a dramatic series of videos on his Snapchat account. It's been reported that Cohen was rushed to the hospital not long after attending N.W.A’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday night.
In the Snapchat videos, showing the Exec wearing an oxygen mask saying "So it would take much more to kill me than a submassive pulmonary embolism,"
and in other videos he continues, “If it wasn’t for my son, and my best friend Norm, I would have been a goner,” and “There’s actually nothing I could do. Anybody could get it. It’s a little blood clot that goes right up the body into the lungs and heart.”
On Monday afternoon, his agency provided a statement that reads in part: "[Cohen] is currently being treated and in stable condition at a local hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery and will be back in action very soon. Lyor, his family and all at 300 Entertainment would like to thank everyone for their continued love and support."
A rep for the company was uncertain when Cohen will be released from the hospital.
A pulmonary embolism is the sudden blockage of a blood vessel in the lung, usually caused by a blood clot. In most cases the clots are small, but if large enough to stop blood-flow to the lung, they can be fatal if not treated expediently.
"One thing I do know, the fact that I’m so in shape and worked out all these years, it helped me survive it," Cohen continues in the post. "Had I waited, like I typically want to do, had it not been for [son] Az and Norm insisting… The doctor said if I’d waited another four hours, I would be toast."
