Coolio died due to a fentanyl overdose.
His family’s spokesperson, Jarel “Jarez” Posey, told TMZ on Thursday that the “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper also had traces of heroin and methamphetamines in his system.
Just like some of his closest friends suspected, investigators believe his “severe asthma” combined with the long-term use of cigarettes also contributed to his death on Sept. 28.
Despite the difficult news, Posey says Coolio’s seven adult children — Brandi, Jackie, Melan, Christopher, Artis III, Darius and Artisha — hope to honor his legacy through his music as well as some sentimental new jewelry.
