The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has ruled that rapper Pimp C, whose real name was Chad Butler, died in December of sleep apnea combined with excess cold medications. Butler was one-half of the duo, UHK, which ironically received its first-ever Grammy nomination just two days after his death. Butler was 33 years old.
