Report: Heavy D Knew Something Was Seriously Wrong With His Health

Reportedly, Heavy D had serious concerns about his health the day before he died. According to the NY Daily News:

“’He had gone to the doctor the day before,’ Ed Winter, Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, told the Daily News. ‘He had what appeared to be like flu-like symptoms.’

Investigators completed an autopsy Wednesday morning, but declined to release a preliminary cause of death, saying that toxicology tests must first be performed. The tests could take up to six weeks to complete.

‘He was taking medication, so we want to see what the levels were,’ Winter said.

The trailblazing, Westchester County-bred star weighed 344 pounds at the time of his death, Winter said.

‘He said he had a touch of pneumonia, maybe from traveling. He just got back from England,’ cousin Ruddy Phillips, 50, told The News after speaking with the entertainer’s dad in Mount Vernon, N.Y.”

As we previously reported, Heavy D died on Tuesday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after complaining of shortness of breath and collapsing at his Beverly Hills condo building. He leaves behind a 13-year-old daughter.
