The death of US Grammy-winning rapper Coolio in September 2022 was due to the effects of fentanyl and other drugs, his manager has said.
Ednews informs via foreign media that Jarez Posey said the musician's family had been informed about the findings by the Los Angeles County coroner.
The artist was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of a friend's LA house six months ago. He was 59.
Coolio, whose real name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr, won a Grammy for the 1995 track Gangsta's Paradise.
The hit - later chosen as the soundtrack to the film Dangerous Minds - went on to become one of the most successful rap songs of all time, helping to bring the genre into the mainstream.
It continues to be widely listened to and has passed a billion views on YouTube.
