Tila Tequila was hospitalized for a week due to a brain aneurysm that nearly caused the petite star to die, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Tila, 30, was released from the hospital on Monday and according to a source close to her, the 4'11" reality TV personality dropped from just 100 pounds to a frail 78 pounds.
"It was terrifying for Tila and death was knocking at her door," the source exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
"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 program."
According to the source, Tila suffered a brain aneurysm in the middle of the night, which caused her to think irrationally. Due to the pain, she took two bottles of unspecified heavy prescription drugs.
"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," the source said.
