The family spokesperson, Jarel (Jarez) Posey, revealed the news on Thursday. The coroner also told Coolio's loved ones he had traces of heroin and methamphetamines also in his system.

His severe asthma and love of cigarettes allegedly also contributed to his death with his body being too weak to fight back.
