Today is a sad day in Rap. Rap pioneer Heavy D dead today at
age 44 in a L.A. Hospital around 1pm. Heavy D, real name Dwight Arrington
Myers, was unconscious in a hallway of his home when a call was placed around
11:25 am. When help got to Heavy's house he was conscious and speaking. From
there he was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short
time later. Cops are currently looking into Heavy's death and there are no
signs of foul play.
***Update*** Heavy D had just returned from shopping and walked up some stairs when he began having trouble breathing. A designer by the name of Adam Mills who was in the building and knew Heavy D, found him leaning against a railing and clearly in distress. Adam tells us he cradled Heavy D in his lap as others called 911. Adam says Heavy D was conscious and said to him, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe."
