Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan died of an accidental drug overdose, a coroner says

ATLANTA– Rapper Rich Homie Quan died of an accidental drug overdose, the Georgia coroner's office confirmed.

The cause of death of the hip-hop artist, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was a variety of drugs including fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine and promethazine, according to a Fulton County coroner's report obtained Tuesday by People Magazine.

According to the report, Quan showed no signs of trauma when his body was found. His death was ruled an accident.

His brother told police he thought Quan was sleeping on the floor near the kitchen before he picked the rapper up and laid him on the couch, saying it was “very unusual” to see food still in his mouth.

Later that morning, police were called by a woman who noticed Quan's body was cold and he wasn't breathing.

Quan, 33, who died Sept. 5 in an Atlanta hospital, was one of the biggest names in hip-hop in the mid-2010s. He gained mainstream fame with the trap singles “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” and “Type of Way,” which were such a success that several other rappers jumped on the remix, including Jeezy and Meek Mill.

Quan appeared on a YG track with Jeezy and released the London on da Track-produced song “Lifestyle” about his rap collective Rich Gang, which included Young Thug and Birdman.

Quan followed with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” a song produced by DJ Spinz and Nitti Beatz. It became his most successful solo single at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He was also featured on Lil Dicky's viral “$ave Dat Money.”

In 2018, Quan released his first and only studio album, Rich as in Spirit, which was mostly featureless – with the exception of “Think About It”, a single with Rick Ross.
