Pimp C Could Have Died Naturally

The Los Angeles coroner’s office have filed an early report into the death of Pimp C and said that, at this stage, it appears the rapper died naturally.

It may take up to six weeks to determine the real reason for behind death when Toxicology tests are returned, but at the moment it’s believed there was no foul play involved. A full, in-depth examination is set to take place later today.

Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner's office, said: "It appears that he died naturally. There were no signs of trauma, no signs of drug paraphernalia."

Pimp C – real name Chad Butler – was discovered dead by security staff on Tuesday at his West Hollywood hotel room. Homicide detectives immediately launched an investigation which is still continuing.

The pioneering 33-year-old rapper was one half of the Texan hip-hip group UGK, who have famously collaborated with Jay-Z. Their latest record ‘Underground Kingz’ hit the top of the charts in the US.
