Heavy D's Official Cause of Death Revealed

Heavy D unexpectedly died in November, but the official cause of death wasn't revealed until the coroner's officer's report released a statement on Tuesday.

It seems that the beloved rapper fell victim to a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in his lung, among other ailments.

Craig Harvey, chief of the Los Angeles County department of coroner revealed that besides the blood clot, which likely formed over the course of a long plane ride, Heavy D also suffered from heart disease and deep leg vein thrombosis.
