Accidental
Overdose Cause of Pimp C's Death
(February 5th)
An
overdose of cough syrup and a preexisting
sleep apnea condition killed Chad Butler,
better known as rapper Pimp C, according
to the Los Angeles County Coroner. His
death has been ruled an accident. Though
early reports suggested the cough syrup
was over-the-counter, assistant chief
coroner Ed Winter said the Promethazine/Codeine
found in his system was from a prescription-based
product.
Winter also cited sleep apnea, a disorder
that often causes blockage of the airway
during sleep. According to the National
Institutes of Health, the condition affects
more than 12 million Americans. Winter
suggested that Pimp C's family was aware
he suffered from the condition.
