An initial autopsy on Wu Tang Clan rapper Old Dirty Bastard has proven "inconclusive", which means the cause of death won't be known until toxicology reports and the results of tissue-sample tests are available, which could take up to ten days. It looks like the rapper suffered a heart attack which, given ODB's history of drug abuse, some speculate was probably caused by some combination of drugs being in his system.
ODB's wife Icelene Jones told reporters yesterday. "He was complaining about his chest hurting, and he was sitting on the floor, and he asked someone to help him get up and go to the couch. He said he wanted some water, but it wasn't cold enough. He went to sleep and never woke back up." Jones also confirmed that a wake and funeral will be held in Brooklyn on Thursday.
