Coolio's Cause Of Death Revealed

Coolio’s cause of death has been revealed.

The “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper died as a result of fentanyl, a family spokesperson tells TMZ. According to the coroner’s report, he also had traces of heroin and methamphetamines in his system.

His friend and longtime manager, Jarez Posey, said investigators determined Coolio’s asthma and longterm use of cigarettes also played a factor in his death and his body’s inability to fight back.

Coolio died on Sept. 28, 2022 at the age of 59. He was visiting a friend’s house in Los Angeles when he went to the bathroom and didn’t come back. His friend grew concerned and went to check on him, only to find Coolio laying on the floor.

Paramedics arrived and attempted to resuscitate Coolio for 45 minutes before pronouncing him dead. At the time, it was suspected that he suffered cardiac arrest and there were no signs of foul play pending a coroner’s report.
