This April, DMX tragically passed away at just 50-years-old at White Sails Hospital in New York after falling into intensive care following a cardiac arrest a week earlier.
Following his passing, a source from the Westchester County medical examiner’s office confirmed the cause of his death to Vulture. “It was cardiac arrest for a period of time, so there was no circulation to the brain,” the source told the publication and indicated that cocaine caused this chain of events.”
They further stated that “an analysis of Simmons’s urine showed the presence of cocaine”. They went on to confirm, “His death literally happened immediately because the brain was dead,” the source added.
