Heavy D cause of death revealed

New details have emerged about the death of rapper Heavy D. The artist died for a pulmonary embolism caused by deep leg vein thrombosis. The hip-hop star, real name Dwight Arrington Myers, was found at his home on November 8.

Yesterday, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office has stated that Heavy D died for a pulmonary embolism, more commonly known as a blood clot, in one of his legs, which was brought on by deep vein thrombosis. The rapper also suffered from heart disease, which could have also been a contributory factor.
