Demi Lovato's Bodyguard Saved Her Life, Assistant Thought She Was Dead: Reports

Demi Lovato’s bodyguard reportedly saved her life and kept her alive till the paramedics reached her home last Tuesday when she was rushed to the hospital after a suspected overdose.

A source told TMZ that her assistant thought she was dead and started screaming "She's dead, she's dead!" before her bodyguard rushed in and administered some sort of first aid to keep her alive till the paramedics arrived.

When the bodyguard arrived, Demi was reportedly not breathing and her pillow was covered with blood and vomit. He then tried “clearing her airway which allowed her to breathe.”

Lovato, who prepares to leave hospital this week, has reportedly agreed to go to rehab following her suspected overdose and is serious about her sobriety. Her family is also very keen to send her to rehab as soon as she's discharged.

"Demi has been in the hospital for over a week because she needed to be monitored by a medical professional. During her time in the hospital, she became physically sick, and the doctors wanted to make sure they kept a close eye on her until they were certain she was fine to be released,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight.

"Her and her team need to decide what is the best decision for Demi once she leaves the hospital. Demi has told the people close to her that she is serious about her sobriety, and plans to do whatever it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle moving forward,” the insider added.

On Tuesday People reported that she is stable, however, several insiders feel she struggled with her personal pain.

“Demi was never really clean and sober from all of her demons. She has been fighting depression and anxiety for quite some time — and is still in such a dark place. She was sober for a while, but not completely sober for six years,” an insider said.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed last Tuesday they “transported a 25-year-old female patient to a local hospital” adding they “responded to a medical emergency” in the area of her home.

In June, she released a song named “Sober” in which she revealed she had suffered from relapses.

“Momma, I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore/ And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor/ To the ones who never left me/ We’ve been down this road before/ I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore,” she sang.

An insider said the song had clear signs that all isn’t well with Lovato’s health.

“Things have been a total mess for months. She and her team severed ties, and they played a large part in getting her sober years ago. She hasn’t been in a good place,” the insider said. “She has still very much kept up her work schedule and daily life, but there have definitely been signs that she isn’t doing great with her sobriety.”
