This Is Where DMX Is Buried

In April of 2021, DMX was rushed to the hospital and declared brain dead (via Vulture). He later died with the official cause listed as a cocaine-induced heart attack. According to Hip Hop Scriptures, he was only 50. Three weeks later, DMX was remembered at a star-studded memorial service at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York (per USA Today). An article from Pitchfork states that fellow hip hop artists Eve, Nas, and Swizz Beatz spoke and commemorated the legendary rapper's life. Kanye West's Sunday Service Choir performed, and the event was live-streamed on YouTube for fans due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Per Entertainment Tonight, a private funeral for his family was held the following day. A New York native, DMX was laid to rest at the Oakland Cemetery in Yonkers, his hometown (via Find A Grave). He left behind 15 children and an incredible legacy (via The New York Post). Shortly after his death, the New York State Senate proclaimed December 18 — DMX's birthday — as Earl "DMX" Simmons Day (per The Fader).
