Tamar Braxton's boyfriend frantically shook the reality star and struggled to find her pulse, while dialing 911, after he found the reality star unconscious after a possible suicide attempt.
Sources close to the situation, tell The Blast, details have now emerged outlining of the scary and frantic situation involving Tamer Braxton and her boyfriend after he found her 'unconscious' apparently after drinking alcohol and taking some sort of prescription medication.
We're told David Adefesco walked in on his girlfriend who was out cold and he attempted to wake her up but was unable to get her to respond. Our sources say he 'shook' her several times getting her to open her eyes once, but then she remained unconscious.
At the time, we're told, Adefesco struggled to find her pulse and tried to confirm she was breathing. He then called 911 and continued to monitor her vital signs until paramedics arrived.
We broke the story, Tamar sent several family members an apparent suicide note in the hours leading up the incident -- and her boyfriend believed she might have followed through on the threat.
"I am a slave. I do not own my life. My stories. My pictures. My thoughts or beliefs. I’ve asked my massa to free me. I’m threatened and punished for it," Tamar wrote in a draft tweet sent to family members.
She continued, "The only way I see out is death. I will choose that before I continue to love (sic) like this. Please help me (praying hands emoji)."

Tamar was rushed by the L.A City Fire Department to the nearest hospital in Los Angeles, and treated for a 'possible overdose.' LAPD confirmed the call, saying they received the emergency dispatch around 9:45 pm for a 43-year-old female who was suffering a medical emergency.
We're told Tamar is now in 'stable condition' and is being held on at least a 24-hour watch for further treatment.
A spokesperson for the reality star, told us, "Tamar has had a very tough and emotional day -- more information will be coming in the next few days. Please pray for her."

Several family members of Tamar's family, including sister Toni Braxton, and boyfriend David Adefesco, were photographed arriving at the hospital overnight. We're told they continued to be by her side while she received treatment.
