Accidental Death

The cause of Pimp C’s death has now been revealed:

UGK rapper Pimp C’s death was the result of an overdose that was triggered by a large consumption of codeine medication combined with a pre-existing sleep condition. According to the autopsy report, Pimp C had prescription promethazine/codeine in his system when he died. Initial reports at the time of his death suggested the rapper had over-the-counter codeine in his possession. Pimp C also suffered from sleep apnea, which causes blockage of the airways during sleep. He had prescription medication in him when he passed away, and the levels were elevated but not real high, so it wasn’t an overdose from [the codeine], but we think it was a result of taking the cough medication with his sleeping problems.

OVER THE COUNTER CODEINE?! Which counter would sell this type of medication WITHOUT a doc’s note? Codeine is STILL a narcotic and requires a presciption… I am confused. I agree with nahnah regarding the FDA.

Condolences to his family…

I’ve never heard of people being addicted to codeine. I just find this crazy that’s the stuff I have to force down my throat when I’m sick…prescription drugs are fast becoming more dangerous that any street drug.

Co-sign with Chris. There’s no such thing as “over the counter” codeine. It’s a controlled substance. It even has street value and people use it like other drugs to get high. RIP.

Codeine is an opiate (naturally occurring opium) so there’s no way you can get it over-the-counter in the USA. Only by prescription. Sleep apnea is also some serious business. r.i.p.

Come on this is ridiculous. One of the most popular drugs in Texas is cough syrup or sizzurp. But Pimp C is the only one in Texas who actually really needed it and his was just accidental! Please Journalists and publicists the reader is not that stupid. Pimp C bragged about his sizzurp use, but it was just accidental! Soon I guess we’ll be hearing about cancer patients bragging about their Chemotherapy!This is just stupid! Instead of lying, be like Magic Johnson and put it out there to create some type of awareness for stupid people like Lil Wayne who teach people how to make the sizzurp concoction on YouTube!

they shouldnt.. its not their fault people dont take these medications as noted on the bottles. i think the average person takes 1 too many motrin or too much cough syrup when they’re sick and uncomfortable.

It took all this time when it took Heath (Broke Back GAY BOY) 2 days for toxicology report?

This the same thing they said DJ Screw died from. ITS ALL COVERT! ! !

It was a movie out a while ago about how the GV*^#MENT had Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin killed because of their influence. During that time of Vietnam War people were revolutionizing and Nixon was going through a lot of problems.

THATS RIGHT CONSPIRACY! ! !

Tupac is dead, Biggie is dead, All of these rappers are dieing, getting locked up and selling out. They getting contracts cancelled, records not promoed, and stallled record deals..

THEY ARE KILLING RAP AS WE KNOW IT.

They are also killing all of the hard guys because they are militant. They dont want us to be militant. They want us all dead with women alive so they can breed with them and keep their race alive.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT! ! !

They want all these weird nasal sounding rappers and young udes so Eminem will sound normal with his BIG BIRD from SESME STREET SOUNDING AZZ!!

LOOK AT ALL THE DEATH IN AFRICA. THEY ARE WIPING US OUT.

OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE ITS TO LATE!

2/5/08, 13:36:pm

You can get the real story on MSN. Bossip is sugar coating his death. There is no prescription codeine. He was on that “syrup”. He had high levels of it. Sleep apnea is just a factor. Cause of death is Accidental Overdose, not Sleep Apnea. RIP. So Sad. They need to get some real weed down south. There always getting high on bull*****. Tony from High-5 died from inhaling from an air conditioning unit. How rediculous. Such a waste and a loss. Is there nothing to do in Texas?

This is true, but at the same time, a lot of these prescription drugs are effing people up.

My cousin jumped out of the window a few months ago after taking antidespressents his doctor prescribed to him. He’s only 17, and fortunately he lived.

He thought someone was after him, locked himself in the room, and jumped out. While the hospital have said he didn’t suffer any brain damage, I think something has changed, as he’s starting to look a little ‘off’.

*Attention Important Marketing for Marqueezy de Sucka

@Mono,

Glad you replied. For your retarded ***** info, I actually graduated from college. Therefore, your ridiculous comment about your crazy sounding post being the most I have read, proves again your ignorance and constant desire to make *****umptions.

You can’t seem to make a point about whatever it is you’re trying to make a point about without resorting to name calling.

Frankly, I am starting to believe you’re the one with the multiple personalities – I’m sure you are one of the stupid b*tches who are always on here talking sh*t about nothing that matters – this time you decided use a different name.

You still sound like a b*tch though.

At least, I use my name – not some moniker.

If you’re going to keep it real, ***** wipe, than keep the sh*t real and start by using the personality your use most of the day.

My reply:

@Marquise de Slave

“Congratulations on your achievement. I didn’t know they still had colleges to teach you how to share crop for pennies.”

Marquise, you have been crushed so badly I am starting to feel like a big meanie.

Buttercup their is no reason Mono should walk the halls of Bossip 40 ft tall while you scuddle around on your 4 bellies. I hope to look into your beedy little eyes as if we were equals. (But only as if…)

Bossip I am not the brute every one thinks. What I took from this man I am about to generously give back AND MORE. This is what I will do for Jenna/Kevbo Jenkins. I am going to help you get your pathetic swag back. What we need to do is market your selling points.

Bossip I appeal to your kinder nature, why would a man come to an all Black women site pretending to only like white women yet… still use his real name? Quite the enigma isn’t it? Well truth is white girls can’t give him the treatment he is seeking.

Well Marqueezy the sucka would like you too know he would actually like to be a slave for the ladies of Bossip. See the reason why he lets you sodomize him with a chainsaw every night is simply because he is what you call a male submissive. Not only is he easy to control (Hence the slave mentality.) But he has grown to love the feeling of enslavement. Why else would he stay on Mono’s chopping block for this long with no arms to swing.

Ladies this is the perfect man for you. Take him home control, degrade, berate, and give the b$tch the spotlight he deserves. Have him clean your boots with his tongue. For the sexy larger readers he is happy to help you carry those heavy saddlebags from room to room while you keep him on a hoe collar.

And the beautiful thing is you don’t have to touch him. He is in it for the sheer anti*****tion of a caress. If you really want to have fun Tie Marqueezy up. Then invite a reeeeeal man over.

Watch Marqueezy de Weasel squirm while you get yours endlessly. Get up in the middle of it and walk over pimp slap the sucka. Your mandingo doesn’t clean up downtown have second personality Kevin Cotex do it. Then let your real mandingo go back to work giving you that real pleasure you deserve.

Take advantage of this unbelievable deal now. He’s college educated in open field studies (Share cropping) so you don’t even have to work anymore he will support you for the ill treatment alone. This is more valuable then 15 Reggie Bush’s, a Brad Pitt and a young Denzel.

I am done Marqueezy de Sucka you are going to box yourself into a suicide and I am a lover not a killa.

It was bad enough you had to change your screen name. But it’s sucks to know you have to change your real name too. LOL

I reccommend Petunia!!! Sucka!

I agree with PRTTYBRWNGIRL…..Sometimes when I am in pain I will take more than the recommended dosages. When I was on prescription for my Wisdom Teeth…. Plus they warn you on labels and when you look it up. Also, Antidepressants tell you that it makes you suicidal even on the commercial (they say the ***** real fast at the end). They all have labels and warning…….

Something needs to be done to hold these drug companies, doctors and pharmacies accountable. Doctors take an oath and then turn around a prescribe ***** like its candy. Look at that actor that just died, he had like 6 different medications in his system, all prescribed by his doctor SMH
