Pimp C Died From Overdose, Sleep Condition

Tuesday, February 5, 2008
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Pimp CAn overdose of cough syrup and a sleeping condition resulted in the accidental death of Pimp C, according to the Los Angeles county coroner.

Pimp C, born Chad Butler, suffered from sleep apnea, a disorder that often blocks a person’s airway during sleep, and affects over 12 million people in the U.S.

Early tests also found traces of promethazine and codeine in his system from a prescription cough syrup.

“Sleep apnea, you stop breathing,” said assistant chief coroner Ed Winter.

“Coupled with a medication that suppresses your respiratory abilities, [and] you end up with an accidental death.”

This latest report echoes the deaths of fellow Texas artists DJ Screw in 2000, and Big Moe just last year - both of whom popularized the drinking of codeine-based cough syrup as a recreational drug.

Both died from heart attacks at the ages of 29 and 33 respectively.

Pimp C was found dead in a L.A. hotel room on Dec. 4. He was 33.

Two days after his death, UGK received its first Grammy nomination for the 2007 single, “International Player’s Anthem,” featuring Atlanta duo Outkast.

I guess "sippin' on syrup" ain't all that cool after all.....a horrible way to lose your life.

That's f@cked up that ya'll put "overdose" in the title when the coroner ruled it an accidental death. That's really showing no class or respect for the situation. That white broke back boy died from an overdose and we still have not seen that in one headline. F@cked up!!

Resepct is earned. People singing about overdosing and then overdosing don't deserve respect.

Are murder c and pimp c related?
Posted by Honk E
Hahahah, sippin on that sizzzerp, irony.

Yall need to show more respect for the dead, the man may have sipped on whatever he damn well pleases but that night his death was accidental, as most deaths are. And no murder c and pimp c and blake c are all people who have no affiliation.

He didn't overdose, he died of sleep apnea. Get your facts straight. Reggie white died of the same disease, and that dude was a preacher, he didn't sip no sizzurp.

Oh yeah, and i wonder how much y'all honkeys laugh at kurt cobain, heath ledger, and the countless other white entertainers who od on some sh*t or another.

Posted by trashman
You guys should not be on here making racist comments about black or white people. Tupac put it best when he said "...both black and white smoke crack tonight..." all races have drug addicts. None of us can judge others for anything, that is gods job, leave it to him, he does it well.
