The blood clot was "most likely formed during an extended airplane ride," Craig Harvey, chief of the L.A. County Coroner Department, said. The rapper had recently returned from a trip to London before his death.

Heavy D -- known for his large physical stature and classic hits like Is It Good to You and Nuttin' But Love -- was considered one of the first crossover hip-hop artists to enjoy major success.
