Almost two months after the death of Hip Hop veteran, Heavy D, TMZ reported that the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has determined the cause of death. According to the coroner’s office, Heavy D suffered from a pulmonary embolism caused by deep leg vein thrombosis.
Deep leg vein thrombosis can be caused by long flights, and before Heavy’s unexpected death, the rapper had just landed from a long flight from Wales back to L.A. after performing at a Michael Jackson memorial concert. The L.A County Coroner’s Office also reported that Heavy D suffered from heart disease which may have played a factor in his death.
