According to the NY Daily News, rapper Heavy D saw a doctor the day before he died tragically at age 44.
Rap legend Heavy D knew something was seriously wrong with his health the day before he suddenly collapsed and died Tuesday, officials told the Daily News.
“He had gone to the doctor the day before,” Ed Winter, Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, told the Daily News. “He had what appeared to be like flu-like symptoms.”
“He was taking medication, so we want to see what the levels were,” Winter said.
Heavy D, whose real name was Dwight Arrington Myers, had just gotten back from a trip to England. “He said he had a touch of pneumonia, maybe from traveling,” his cousin, Ruddy Phillips, told The News.
But Heavy D also could have died from a pulmonary embolism, a fatal consequence of sitting for prolonged periods of time during long distance travel. Pulmonary embolism are often misdiagnosed as something else — such as pneumonia or cardiac arrest.
According to the Daily News, an autopsy was completed Wednesday morning, but a preliminary cause of death won’t be released until toxicology tests are performed. The tests could take up to six weeks to complete.
THIS IS JUST SOOOOO SAD!

Good doctors ask a lot of questions, such as “Do you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, pain in your legs? and “Did you just get back from overseas?” If Heavy D was complaining of flu-like symptoms after just getting off a plane from England, a good doctor would have drawn his blood and run a scan on him. Pulmonary embolism often gets misdiagnosed because doctors don’t do the basics such as asking the right questions.

so you think the doctor failed to give him a blood test? Do we know if it was his regular physician?

I wanna know is this love for real
Or could it be lust that I feel
You got it going on and on like a real fly sex appeal
Physique extra ill sun sweet dress to kill
You got me open like token hot and smokin
Jacuzzi bubble bath laughin joking
Candle light talking about how you and your ex-man fight
Tropical sight beach sand white listen
Seafood dishes wine cooler champagne wishes waterbed head
Fine do with some riches
our loveable hugeable I love the cute
As long as I’m around and down nothin could ever trouble you
I want your body
The way you touch me
Ridin in your Caddie
You could be my big daddy
Take it slowly
Heavy hold me
Ridin in your Caddie
you could be my big daddy
I spend quality time
Cute face haircut like the Hally design
Keep my day laced up with fly gear and makeup
But you should see her when she wake up never could we brake up
Shop till you drop cause the cream dont stop
Buy you a bunch of outfits your sexy your hot
So she could look good for Hev D
Overweight loving MC rub you gently
You know its C big CEO sex-o-pee
Mac game similar next to gold and flex
You might feelme creeping to your room late at night
It’s hell a waterbed so get it right

Game ear tight why you caught up in the hype
That’s right that’s miggie, miggie, biggie

TRA !!!
– Its almost impossible to misdiagnose a PE (pulmonary embolism).
ex. SOB + hypoxia + clear c-xray + risk factor = PE
Anyone with an MD knows this – doubt he died of a PE.
Trust me- i know.

@ Cycil:
And what if Heavy D wasn’t hypoxic? And what if the doctor didn’t think to get a chest x-ray? You can’t say it’s “impossible” to misdiagnose PE because there are documented cases that proves it happens a lot.

He sounds like he threw a clot…pulmonary embolism. Those things will take you out so fast and if he was that big and just flown from Europe it’s highly likely.
I pray he was not scared or alone when he passed. That would be the absolute worst.
