Investigators Rule Out Foul Play In Pimp C’s Death

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  38 Comments

The LA coroner’s office should be able to determine the cause of Pimp C’s sudden death at a Hollywood hotel earlier this month within the next two weeks. According to Port Arthur’s KBTV Channel 4, investigators have ruled out foul play in the mysterious death of the 33 year-old veteran MC. Pimp’s body was discovered in his room at the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. on December 4 after family members became worried when they hadn’t heard from him and notified the hotel’s staff. The next day, Capt. Ed Winter of the L.A. Coroner’s office told website TMZ.com that the rapper was found lying on his bed, fully clothed. Initial reports indicated that Pimp may have died from natural causes and no drugs or drug paraphernalia were found in the room.

  • niggafrommemphis

    I’m not surprised there was no foul play,I believe it was natural.I am at the same time “wondering”if lean was in him.With all that said the fact remains:The Pimp is dead and we still have The Bun.I’m not bein pessismistic but even if things do improve,as far as the rap game goes,it will never be the same without C.Bun can and will take it to the next level,I know it.The one thing about the last one was that it wasn’t enough of just them two niggasor with a 3-2,Dmd,Bird and shit.But those guys are always gonna be legends and anyone from anywhere other than the south better recognize that…. it’s already tooo late if you hadn’t.

    Sraight up truth, Pimp C’s uncle came to my liquor store and got to talking about it. He said that Pimp was diabetic and not taking care of his blood sugar. I’m just saying that shit could be what happened, we shall see in a couple of weeks. Also, I would not just make up some bullshit. I have too much respect for UGK, and you don’t play about shit like that. RIP PIMP C, UGK 4 LIFE

    R.I.P. Pimp C. Its sad that people can’t respect the dead and let them have peace.All black people don’t over due drugs and die. Thats not normal for any race and not blacks either. The South still strong and UGK is for life and thats ok Pimp might be gone but Lil Keke the Don about to rise up and conquer the rap game for Texas. Like the song said The won’t let us down.
