Almost died: Reality personality Tila Tequila almost died after suffering a brain aneurysm it has emerged
Fresh reports suggest reality star Tila Tequila was rushed to hospital last week after an apparent suicide bid.
The 30-year-old almost died after overdosing on drugs following a brain aneurysm.
TMZ now claims it was a worried roommate who called 911 - saying her friend had 'tried to kill herself all week'.
The website says emergency services were called to the house on Wednesday at 1.30am and Tila was rushed to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, California.
Sources revealed Tequila was 'in and out of consciousness' in the house and it was determined she need psychiatric care.
She was eventually released - but in a new development Tila's manager called 911 last night after becoming fearful for her client.
Police called at her home to do a welfare check - but she is said to have refused to open the door, explaining she couldn't because she was in a wheelchair.
An insider adds that Tila is now 'resting' at home.
RadarOnline previously reported Tila was hospitalised for a week after overdosing on drugs.
A source told the website how the 4'11" A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila star shed a stone-and-a-half, and is now just 78 pounds.
The insider said: 'It was terrifying for Tila and death was knocking at her door.
'She was in two hospitals for the span of a week and is still not in perfect health, so she's going to check into an outpatient programme.'
The incident happened after the former MTV star suffered a aneurysm in the middle of the night, which is when one of the arteries in the brain bulges outward abnormally.
Unable to speak: It is unclear if she has suffered long-term brain damage after the incident
The condition made Tila, who lives in San Diego, act irrationally, and she took two bottles of unspecified heavy prescription drugs due to the pain, according to RadarOnline.
The insider added: 'Tila threw up all over her bed after overdosing and felt like she was dying.
'She was screaming for help, and in desperation, broke her bedroom window and attempted to jump out.
'Finally a friend came over after getting a strange text from her and found her convulsing on the bed.
'He called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital.'
The failed singer was hospitalised just in time, and after being stabilised was kept under intensive care all week.
However it seems she may have been left with permanent damage due to the episode.
The insider said: 'It's sad to think she may have some permanent brain damage. She still can't fully speak properly.'
Tila was born to a Vietnamese family in Singapore, but they moved to Houston, Texas when she was a year old.
She launched her career as a glamour model after being spotted by a Playboy scout, before moving into more mainstream mens magazines and reality television.
Her manager refused to comment to MailOnline about the incident.
