Rich Homie Quan was killed by an accidental overdose.
The rapper — born Dequantes Devontay Lamar — was found dead on Sept. 5 at his home in Atlanta, and the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office has now declared the cause was from his overdosing on a cocktail of fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine and promethazine.
His death was ruled accidental according to the autopsy report on the musician, which also said Rich’s body showed no signs of trauma.
The autopsy on his body had been scheduled for 6 September, and there had been speculation on social media the rapper had died from drug-related complications.
“JUST GOT WORD @RichHomieQuan JUST OD!!” his friend Boosie Badazz posted on X, which sparked speculation on social media.
Rich had also been open about his addiction battles, saying he was once taking ecstasy “every day.”
A 911 call also revealed how much Quan struggled in his final moments.
The Atlanta-born rapper’s girlfriend, Amber Williams, told dispatchers in a clip from the call she “didn’t feel a heartbeat” on her boyfriend and that he was unconscious.
“When I turned him over, he kind of foamed at the mouth,” she said in the call.
Paramedics then rushed to the residence, and Quan was declared dead at the scene.
In the lead-up to his death, the “Song Cry” rapper shared a post hinting he had been struggling.
“Vision clear even through the BS,” he said on Sept. 2 in an Instagram post on Instagram, which showed a slideshow of images of himsel.
Social media tributes poured in after news of Quan’s death broke.
