Rev Run (real name: Joseph Simmons) and his wife recently welcomed a baby daughter, only to have the birth turn to tragedy.
The baby was born via c-section Tuesday, only for doctors to announce that the baby's internal organs were all outside her body. The baby died shortly thereafter.
Simmons is a member of the rap group Run DMC and the star of an MTV reality show titled "Rev's House." The pregnancy played a major part in the last season.
Although Simmons' family has not confirmed this news, it is believed to be true.
TMZ is reporting that MTV cameras were in the hospital at the time of the baby's birth. What a horrible tragedy for this family.
1. May God give you the strength to handle this tragedy........so sorry for your loss.

2. Wow. I am shocked. This is one of the saddest things I have read in a long time. As a fan of the show and Rev. Run's music, I offer the entire Simmons family my condolences and pray that they get through this difficult time. God bless them.

3. Isn't something like this detected through ultrasound during pregnancy? I don't understand why cameras were there if they knew the baby was going to die.
Very sad, though.

7. I want to say I think this is horrible for the family, I watch the show during season, all I can see is Justine buying baby clothing early before pregnancy is known. I love this family, and show, and things happen for a reason. He is the "REV" and I know his family is praying. This has Happened but for this something Big Will Happen in Return. My thoughts are with this family.

8. That's my question Stephanie. They didn't know they're was a problem before the baby was born.

14. WOW ! That is really heavy. I know what it's like to lose a baby at birth. It is devestating. So sad. You've decorated the baby's room. Bought all the furniture and had the baby shower. You never forget the loss. Her grief must be ten fold, with the media attention to add to it.
At least I suffered my loss in privacy. Thank goodness she has the support of her family and friends to get through this. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family in their time of need. It's time to turn off the CAMERA'S and let them grieve.God bless that little baby. God Speed. He or she had a higher calling.
