A medical examiner’s office in Georgia publicly confirmed Tuesday how 33-year-old rapper Rich Homie Quan died last month.
The cause of death for the hip-hop performer, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was pinned on a slew of drugs such as fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine and promethazine, according to a Fulton County medical examiner’s report obtained by People Magazine.
THC (cannabis) was also found in his system – but the other substances had caused his shock accidental death.
