Demi Lovato OD Was Life and Death

EXCLUSIVE
Demi Lovato[1] could have died Tuesday from her overdose -- it was that serious -- sources connected to the singer tell TMZ.
We're told the 911 call did not come a minute too soon, because Demi was in dire straits. "She could have died," said a source with firsthand knowledge. Demi was unconscious when she was discovered at around 11:30 AM and the 911 call was placed.
TMZ broke the story ... Demi received Narcan[2] to counter the effects of opioids. As we reported, Demi and those who were at the house refused to disclose[3] the drug or drugs that caused her to OD.
TMZ obtained the 911 call[4] ... in which the person at Demi's home asked the dispatcher if the emergency vehicles could come without sirens -- presumably because they wanted to keep the OD on the down-low. The dispatcher informed the caller the sirens would stay on.
Demi remains hospitalized. We're told those around her want her to enter a rehab facility[5] when she's released, but ultimately the decision is squarely hers.
