Hip Hop lost one of its greatest rappers when Prodigy of Mobb Deep passed away at the end of June. While the 42-year-old was suffering from long-time health conditions, including sickle cell anemia, Prodigy was pronounced dead at hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Now, per TMZ, it seems the official cause of death was accidental choking. After investigation, The Clark County Medical Examiner determined his June 20th death resulted in “choking on an egg.”

 

You have such a beautiful soul & it saddens me that there is so many people who will never get the chance to meet , experience AND appreciate this side of you . I love you dad & you will forever be a blessing to this world and to my heart . Thank you …we miss you .
