Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan's official cause of death has been revealed after the rapper died at the age of 34

Rich Homie Quan's cause of death has been announced nearly a month after the Atlanta rapper's death.

Quan (née Dequantes Devontay Lamar), who worked with Young Thug as Rich Gang, died on September 5 at the age of 34.

On Tuesday (October 1), the Fulton County Coroner's Office released its autopsy report, which listed Quan's cause of death as an accidental drug overdose.

According to the report PeopleMultiple drugs were found in his system, including fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, promethazine and THC.

The report also revealed that the late rapper showed no signs of trauma.

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 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 highest-charting solo single, peaking 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 spiritwhich was mostly featureless – except for “Think About It”, a single with Rick Ross.
