YSL's Lil Keed died suddenly last year, but now his family and friends know why he passed away.
On Tuesday, January 3, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner released its report about the rapper seven months after his death. According to the coroner's findings, Keed, born Raqhid Jevon Render, died of natural causes due to eosinophilia. Cleveland Clinic says eosinophilia happens when "an unusually high number of eosinophils in your blood. Eosinophils are one of several white blood cells that support your immune system." When eosinophil levels are high, it could be due to parasitic infections, allergic reaction or blood cancers.
The autopsy report couldn't determine exactly what condition caused eosinophilia to occur. Back in May, Keed reportedly claimed that he needed to go to a hospital. On the way there, he suffered a seizure and became unresponsive. He was later pronounced deadat the hospital at 10:14 p.m. that same day.
"He had been sick in bed for 4 days with complaints of stomach and back pains," the report stated. "His brother noted that the decedent's eyes were jaundiced and drove him to the hospital in a private vehicle."
In the days before his final hospital visit, Keed did experience stomach issues. According to People, the coroner also noted that the rapper was previously admitted into a Georgia hospital after he complained of pain in his stomach. However, he left on his own accord against medical advice and did not seek any follow-up treatment. He also added that he drank alcohol frequently and smoked a vape pen. His family said that Keed didn't use drugs and didn't have any known medical conditions.
Lil Keed was 24 when he passed away. He was signed to Young Thug's YSL imprint in 2018. He died just days after Thugger and other YSL members were arrested on RICO charges. He was not one of the members named in the indictment.
