Coolio seemed happy and healthy in his last day, but friends say the rapper had severe asthma… a condition they believe contributed to his death.
We spoke to several sources close to the late rapper, and each told us about his asthma and what he’s struggled with over the years. What’s more, we know that Coolio’s family also told investigators investigating his death that he had asthma.
We’re told Coolio has always traveled with several inhalers to manage his condition — even using them on stage during some of his performances.
A recent study by the American Heart Association found that people diagnosed with asthma have a higher risk of heart attack. In addition, people who take daily asthma medication were 60% more susceptible to heart attacks, strokes and other heart diseases.
