“We’re told Tori’s getting care in the ICU, doctors have discovered clots in Tori’s legs and her lungs … and are still working to determine if any clots are around her heart,” the TMZ report reads. “The singer’s been in and out of consciousness during her hospitalization.” (TMZ doesn’t include bylines on its stories, so we cannot attribute this quote to an individual reporter.)

Her friends carried her by car to a local hospital from there, opting not to use an ambulance to ensure she was treated at a hospital other than the L.A. Downtown Medical Center.
