An official cause of death for rapper and lifelong New Yorker DMX has been released following his death in April at the age of 50.
The Westchester County Medical Examiner told Vulture on Thursday, July 8 that the hip-hop icon died on April 9 due to a cocaine-induced heart attack which caused a lack of blood circulation to his brain.
“It was cardiac arrest for a period of time, so there was no circulation to the brain,” the Medical Examiner explained to Vulture. No official statement has been released by the ME’s office.
According to reports, the death was caused by acute cocaine intoxication. Despite being treated for several days following his initial overdose, officials said that his brain was likely dead the entire time.
