Rapper Heavy D Died of the Heavy P or Heavy C

A rapper was struck down on the streets in LA in broad daylight? The Hell you say! But its true. Rapper Heavy D walked out of his house and collapsed and later died at the hospital. But unlike most rappers that die on the street, Heavy D wasn’t surrounded by the acrid smell of gun powder. Best guess is that he was either suffering of pneumonia or he ate one too many helpings of pork rinds and died of a cholesterol drive-by.

Okay, enough snark, he seemed like he was a pretty decent professional artist judging by this interview.

From the Times here:

“Upon arrival, officers discovered a male, 44 years old, conscious, communicative, but having difficulty breathing,” the Beverly Hills Police Department said in a statement. “There are no obvious signs of foul play, and at this time his death is believed to be medically related.”

Heavy D had recently seen a private physician for a cough that may have been pneumonia.

He probably died in the waiting room waiting for a bed if his experience matched that of my wife with her recent bout of pneumonia. And I don’t know what the hell D was shopping for if he had a case of pneumonia. All I know is that if I was a black celebrity, I’d get rid of the private doctors. They seem to be killing them at a pretty good clip nowadays. And D wasn’t the youngest rapper to die from non-drive-by related deaths this year. Remember Nate Dogg?
