CAUSE OF HEAVY D's DEATH REAVELED

Seven weeks after his shocking passing, the cause of death of Jamaican-American actor, rapper, record producer and singer Heavy D has been revealed.

According to TMZ, a conclusive autopsy report shows the 44-year-old rapper died from a ‘pulmonary embolism caused by deep leg vein thrombosis’.

A pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance. It is often caused by blood clots which travel in from other parts of the body. Doctors say the blood clot had formed in Heavy D’s legs.

It is now believed that his long flight trip from Europe back to Los Angeles may have contributed to the anomaly. Heavy had performed at the Michael Jackson memorial concert in Wales.

The L.A. County Coroner’s report had stated that the rapper died of natural causes.

The rapper was buried on Friday, November 18, 2011 at the historic Grace Baptist Church of Mount Vernon.
