Coolio died due to a fentanyl overdose.<br /><br />His family’s spokesperson, Jarel “Jarez” Posey, told TMZ on Thursday that the “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper also had traces of heroin and methamphetamines in his system.<br /><br />Just like some of his closest friends suspected, investigators believe his “severe asthma” combined with the long-term use of cigarettes also contributed to his death on Sept. 28.<br /><br />Despite the difficult news, Posey says Coolio’s seven adult children — Brandi, Jackie, Melan, Christopher, Artis III, Darius and Artisha — hope to honor his legacy through his music as well as some sentimental new jewelry.<br />
