He was found lying on the floor of a friend’s bathroom.

The report also listed cardiomyopathy, asthma, and phencyclidine as factors contributing to the death of the “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper.

Cardiomyopathy affects the heart muscle, causing it to grow stiff and enlarge, thus making it difficult for the muscle to pump blood throughout the body.
