 Ol' Dirty Bastard's death has been ruled an accidental overdose.
The New York Medical Examiner's Office has determined that ODB died from a fatal combination of cocaine and Tramadol, a prescription painkiller.
ODB, real names Russell Jones, collapsed and died in a New York recording studio on November 13, two days before his 36th birthday.
A spokesperson said his death was: "as a result of intoxication by the combined effects of cocaine and Tramadol, a prescription painkiller but not a narcotic."
She added: "The manner of death is an accident."
As previously reported, an album of new ODB material entitled "Osirus" will be released in the US on January 4 by a label founded by the rapper's mother and lawyer.
"Osirus" reportedly features fellow Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna plus Mark Ronson and was produced by Gang Starr's DJ Premier.
