I only know the guy from the parody that Weird Al Yankovic did on his "Gangsta's Paradise" song ("Amish Paradise")

Apparently Coolio was angry with the parody at first but later warmed up to it.

Another death by sudden. Or fentanyl based death.

They’re saying cardiac arrest for what that’s worth.

Coolio died of old age.

59 is ancient in “rapper years”

Well Elvis died of a cardiac arrest. Taking quaaludes and dextroamphetamine might have had a little bit to do with his premature death.

The bathroom floor seems like a favorite place for drug addicts and drunks to go to die.
