UGK rapper Pimp C's death was the result of an overdose that was triggered by a large consumption of codeine medication combined with a pre-existing sleep condition, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.The autopsy ruled that the rapper (real name: Chad Butler) died accidentally.Pimp C was found dead December 4 in a Los Angeles hotel after headlining a few spot tour dates in California with Too Short. He was 33.As one-half of UGK, along with rhyme partner Bun B, Pimp C was instrumental in shaping the sound and influence of Southern rap, which dominates hip-hop today. On "Sippin' on Some Syrup," a track for which UGK collaborated with Three 6 Mafia, Pimp C boasted of his affinity for codeine. Cough medicine combined with a number of mixers is a popular beverage in some Southern regions."I got the red promethazine, thick orange and yellow 'Tuss," Pimp C rapped on the track.According to the autopsy report, Pimp C had prescription promethazine/codeine in his system when he died. Initial reports at the time of his death suggested the rapper had over-the-counter codeine in his possession. Pimp C also suffered from sleep apnea, which causes blockage of the airways during sleep.The assistant chief coroner in the L.A. County coroner's office, Ed Winter, said the effects of codeine, when combined with a condition such as Butler's, are deadly."He had prescription medication in him when he passed away, and the levels were elevated but not real high, so it wasn't an overdose from [the codeine], but we think it was a result of taking the cough medication with his sleeping problems," Winter told MTV News.Winter explained that a disorder such as sleep apnea causes blockages of the airways during sleep. Meanwhile, the effects of cough syrup also suppress respiratory breathing. The combination proved to be too much for Butler's body to overcome, Winter added.
