Initial reports suggested that the singer suffered a ‘heroin overdose’ and was rushed from her Hollywood Hills home to a Los Angeles hospital just before noon yesterday.
However, according to People, sources close to Demi have now indicated that the 'overdose' was not from heroin.
Demi has been open about her battles with alcohol and drug addiction and her stints in rehab. She celebrated being six years sober in March this year, however in recent weeks released a song titled ‘Sober’ that suggested she had relapsed.
