Heavy D, Dwight Arrington Myers, also known for his group
Heavy D and the boys in the 90's died early yesterday after having collapsed after breathing problems. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead at 1 pm, he was 44 years old.
Sources say
Heavy D was walking up a couple stairs but leaned against a railing then began to look distressed as if he could not breathe. They say he may have had a heart attack, but no foul play was involved. His weight may have been an issue as he was 300 lbs when he died, further investigations are under way.
