CAUSE OF DEATH: Lil Keed’s cause of death has been confirmed to be from natural causes stemming from eosinophilia

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lil Keed’s cause of death has been confirmed to be from natural causes stemming from eosinophilia.

Although YSL Records artist Lil Keed passed away nearly eight months ago, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner/Coroner’s Office is only now sharing its final findings into the 24-year-old rapper’s cause of death. According to XXL, the rapper died of natural causes prompted by eosinophilia, a higher than normal level of disease-fighting white blood cells. Eosinophilia can be caused by autoimmune diseases, infections (especially from parasites), and blood cancers, as well as hereditary genetic mutations.

Before his death, Keed reportedly complained of severe stomach pain, checking into an LA hospital for tests. However, several of his organs including his liver and kidneys failed shortly after he checked in, and he died a few days later. At the time of his death, Keed was two years removed from his second studio album, Trapped On Cleveland 3, which had received a favorable fan response. Keed was also a standout on YSL’s Slime Language 2 compilation, which highlighted the label’s growing roster of talent.

Unfortunately, much of that roster wound up behind bars shortly after Keed’s death as the label’s founder Young Thug and several of its artists were indicted in a 56-count racketeering investigation accusing YSL of being a “hybrid street gang.” The trial against Thug is set to begin this month after several of the other artists, including Gunna, accepted plea deals in exchange for their freedom. Thug was offered no such deal, and it’s believed he was the true target of the investigation all along.

The coroner was unable to determine what caused the condition in Lil Keed’s case, per an autopsy report obtained by People.

Just hours before his death, the rapper, whose real name was Raqhid Jevon Render, said he needed to go to the hospital.

“He had been sick in bed for 4 days with complaints of stomach and back pains,” the report stated, according to the magazine. “His brother noted that the decedent’s eyes were jaundiced and drove him to the hospital in a private vehicle.”

Lil Keed suffered a seizure on the way to the hospital “before going unresponsive.”

Moments after his death made headlines, his brother and fellow rapper, Lil Gotit, confirmed the news on Instagram.

“Can’t believe I seened u die today bro,” he wrote. “I did all my cries I know what u want me to do and that’s go hard for Mama Daddy Our Brothers Naychur and Whiteboy.”

Lil Keed’s pregnant girlfriend, Quana Bandz, also shared a heartbreaking post via Instagram.

“I love you sooooo much baby what I’m post to do with out you I can’t breathe right sleep right nothing I don’t even wanna talk to nobody Keed I can’t take this,” she explained. “What am I supposed to tell Naychur? What am I gone tell our new baby ? Keed I just told you the other day if you left me with these two kids I was gone loose my mind my Mind is lost baby.”

She continued, “I’m sooooo sorry I didn’t fly to LA I know I could’ve saved you baby you really showed me all you needed was MY LOVE you gave me that I gave you that. IM SORRY please just tell me this a dream come home. YOU PROTECTED US. Whyyyy DADDY.”

Last year, he was in a Georgia hospital after having stomach pain but “he left against medical advice and did not seek follow-up care,” said the coroner, adding that he frequently drank alcohol and smoked a vape pen.

Quana Bandz — Lil Keed’s girlfriend and the mother of daughter Naychur — also mourned the rapper in an Instagram post of her own.

“I love you sooooo much baby what I’m post to do with out you I can’t breathe right sleep right nothing I don’t even wanna talk to nobody Keed I can’t take this,” she wrote beside a series of videos and photos of time spent with her late beau.
