Accidental drug overdose, cause of  Rapper Rich Homie's death — Medical examine

The medical examiner's office in Georgia, United States, has revealed that Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan died as a result of an accidental drug overdose.

According to a Fulton County medical examiner's report obtained by People Magazine on Tuesday, the hip-hop star, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, died as a result of a combination of substances including fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, and promethazine.

The report said Quan's body was found with no evidence of trauma. 

His death was deemed accidental.

His brother told police that he assumed Quan was sleeping on the floor outside the kitchen before picking him up and placing him on the couch, stating that it was "very unusual" to have food in his mouth.

Later that morning, police were called by a woman who noticed that Quan’s body was cold and was not breathing.

Quan, 33, who died at an Atlanta hospital on September 5, was one of the biggest names in hip-hop in the mid-2010s. 

He gained mainstream fame through the trap singles, “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” and “Type of Way,” which became such a success that several other rappers jumped on the remix, including Jeezy and Meek Mill.

Quan who had a successful music career appeared on a YG track with Jeezy and released the London on da Track-produced song “Lifestyle” through his Rich Gang rap collective that included Young Thug and Birdman.

Quan followed up with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” a song produced by DJ Spinz and Nitti Beatz. 

It became his highest charting solo single at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 
He was also featured on Lil Dicky’s viral, “$ave Dat Money.”

In 2018, Quan made a debut with his first and only studio album, “Rich as in Spirit,” which mostly went without any features — except for “Think About It,” a single with Rick Ross.
