TMZ first reported that Ross was taken to the hospital by ambulance after someone in his home called 911 and reported a person in distress who was โ€œbreathing heavyโ€ and unresponsive. The caller told the dispatcher that the man in distress had a history of seizures; according to TMZ, Ross is known to suffer from seizures.

The person on the phone told the dispatcher that they were trying to wake the man, but he was โ€œslobbing out the mouth.โ€

A family member denied that Ross was in the hospital, but TMZ published a second report indicating that Ross had been attached to a machine that had taken over for his heart and lungs.

Ross, 42, is reportedly being treated in a cardiac unit. He has been hooked up to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, something that oxygenates a personโ€™s blood outside of their body before it is pumped back into their body.

TMZ reports that it is a form of life support, which would indicate that Ross is in bad condition.
