The mystery surrounding Coolio’s tragic death is finally revealed!
Artist Leon Ivey Jr., better known by his rapper alias, is an entertainer who rose to fame as a member of the gangsta music groups WC and Maad Circle. By the 90s, the artist’s solo career took off with chart-topping songs like “Gangsta’s Paradise.”
The record producer breathed his last in September 2022, a shocking death that raised several questions, including his cause of death. Now, fans and relatives of the Grammy winner can rest easy as new information has been released.
Coolio’s Cause of Death Revealed More Than Three Months After His Death

Last September, friends of the “Hit ’em High” rapper suspected the entertainer died of “severe asthma.” However, the coroner’s report revealed that the entertainer’s cause of death was a fentanyl overdose.
The Los Angeles man’s autopsy report stated that the deceased had heroin and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death. However, the father-of-ten’s suspicions were not misplaced, as investigators believe his poor health was crucial to his death.
Coolio’s “severe asthma,” in addition to his long-time cigarette use, may have been partially responsible for his unfortunate death on September 28. Additional information from the coroner’s report reveals extenuating circumstances surrounding the “Hit Em’ High” rider.
Authorities allegedly found three bags of drugs and drug-related materials at the scene of the 59-year-old man’s death. The document stated that these items reportedly belonged to the deceased.
Police also found “a baggy” containing suspicious materials such as “chocolate powder material, foil with burnt residue, straws/tubes, saline solution, spoon with residue.” Additionally, law enforcement found over-the-counter CBD products and vitamins.
The coroner’s report and police investigation contradicted earlier records that “no illegal substances” were present at the scene of Coolio’s death, an apartment belonging to a friend of the late artist. Fortunately, news of his overdose didn’t stop the “Fantastic Voyage” rapper from being honored by his loved ones.
The artist’s manager announced that the late seven adult children – Brandi, Jackie, Melan, Christopher, Artis III, Darius, and Artisha – plan to pay tribute to their late father through his music. The master project also includes sentimental jewelry to honor the performer’s legacy.

Creating heartwarming memorabilia is nothing new to the children of the Los Angeles native as the family created a necklace with their father’s remains. A month after his death, they announced the development of a locket that included Coolio’s ashes.
Each child personalizes their jewelry with a special inscription, ensuring their father’s memory is not forgotten. As they continue to honor the late Coolio’s legacy, it is reported that the rapper’s ten children will have to divide the deceased’s estate among themselves, as the 59-year-old died without a will.
Probate has reportedly been filed by the “See you there” musician’s former manager to facilitate the appraisal of the Los Angeles native’s estate. The document also lists Coolio’s seven adult children as next of kin and potential beneficiaries.
According to the petition, the value of the late rapper’s estate may exceed $300,000. This includes “personal property and demand deposit accounts, financial accounts, insurance policies and royalties.” At that time, the true value of the Hip-hop star’s assets had not been determined.
The ‘Cookin’ with Coolio’ Star Chose to Be Cremated Before His Passage
Last year, The Blast reported that Coolio’s longtime girlfriend, Mimi Ivey, opened up about her lover’s last wish. In a heart-to-heart interview, the media personality revealed that the late rapper expressed how he wanted to be remembered.

While many wanted their passing to be celebrated with a big ceremony, the “Coolio Rule” star took the easy way out. According to his grieving girlfriend, the Los Angeles native wanted to be cremated.
“I respect his wishes. He wants to be burned. He didn’t want a funeral; he didn’t want a memorial service. He doesn’t want anything,” the “Love Goals” star admitted.
While the video vixen did not explain her lover’s posthumous wishes or share the date of his cremation, sources were happy to share more details. The insider stated that there will be an intimate service to honor the rapper’s legacy.
However, the invitation to the private party was not publicized. This means that the deceased’s friends and acquaintances in the industry could not attend the ceremony. The low setting is to avoid possible fights caused by Coolio’s ex and the mother of his ten children.
