When we last saw Suge Knight he was menacing a lady photographer . But after he was arrested last week for stealing the pap's camera, the 49-year old year old's medical condition made him a lot less intimidating.

Knight has been taking blood thinners ever since he was shot six times a couple months ago at an industry party But he couldn't get his medication when he was locked up last Wednesday in Las Vegas.  Doctors believe that resulted in a blood clot in his lung, which caused him to pass out twice in his cell. His second fall injured his head and spine.

After being taken to the infirmary for x-rays, Knight fainted again.

According to Knight's lawyer Julie Raye, the Death Row Records founder was then taken to a local hospital.

Raye told NBC News that Knight "is doing better," and hopes to be out of the hospital in the coming days. Knight has already posted his $75,000 bond and is expected to be released from the Clark County Detention Center shortly.

Knight is facing 30 years on the robbery charges.
