FacebookTweetMuch-loved rapper Heavy D, who collapsed and died suddenly on Nov. 8, fell victim to a pulmonary embolism – a blood clot in his lung – among other ailments, according to a coroner's officer's report released Tuesday.

Heavy D (real name: Dwight Arrington Meyers), 44, had collapsed outside his Beverly Hills condo after he suffered difficulty breathing while returning from a morning shopping trip, police said at the time. He later died at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Besides the blood clot, which likely formed over the course of a long plane ride, the influential '90s rapper also suffered from heart disease and deep leg vein thrombosis, according to Craig Harvey, chief of the Los Angeles County department of coroner.

The coroner's report also stated, "manner of death: natural."

This is just awful!

In just a few days, it will be one year since I survived a second pulmonary embolism. I was diagnosed and hospitalized on New Year's Eve 2010 after suffering shortness of breath. The doctors found one clot in my lung. I spent eleven days in the hospital.

The previous year, the doctors found more than a dozen clots in my lungs. I had been sick and short of breath for weeks and didn't go to the doctor. I am lucky to be alive. I spent four days in ICU as... show more

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, having lost him so suddenly, and you too, that all you're doing keeps blood clots at bay. My mom has had 3 PEs, all of which sent her to the hospital for days at a time. It's such a blessing that she survived. She's having to do the same things you're doing to prevent another PE, and I pray that it works.
