Coolio's manager, Jarez, says Coolio went to the bathroom at his friend's house, but when he didn't come after a while the friend kept calling for him, and eventually went in and found Coolio laying on the floor. The friend called EMTs, who arrived and pronounced Coolio dead on the scene. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest & the cause of death has not yet been determined. Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., came up on the L.A. rap scene in the late 80s, but blew up nationally in 1995 when he released "Gangsta's Paradise." Rest in Peace.
