Prodigy from Mobb Deep died on June 20, 2017, at the age of 42. He had been hospitalized in Las Vegas due to complications related to his lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia. The official cause of death was ruled as accidental choking while he was being treated in the hospital. Reports specify that he choked on an egg during his hospital stay. His sickle cell anemia, a condition causing the production of abnormally shaped red blood cells leading to pain and health complications, was a persistent issue throughout his life and contributed to his hospitalization before his death.
