An official report obtained by Vulture from the Westchester County medical examiner’s office revealed that DMX’s official cause of death was a cocaine-induced heart attack that resulted in a lack of blood circulation to his brain.

“It was cardiac arrest for a period of time, so there was no circulation to the brain,” the source said, later explaining that the cocaine in X’s system “caused this chain of events.”

The source also stated, “…there were a number of days where he was on ventilatory support and so forth in the hospital.”

“However, he was diagnosed brain-dead early on … He never woke up from [a] coma,” they added.

A medical examination of X’s urine pointed to the presence of cocaine. The medical examiner’s office did not perform an autopsy, as they had eluded to the cause of death based upon documentation provided by medical professionals and police.

According to USA Today, Murray Richman, DMX’s attorney, previously squashed all unsubstantiated rumors that his death was caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Persons who made that statement had no basis to formulate a belief,” Richman said.

He also confirmed that X never had COVID, nor did he receive the vaccine.
