Hours after Grammy-winning "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper Coolio died Wednesday, "Dangerous Minds" actor Michelle Pfeiffer saluted him as a "gifted artist."
"A life cut entirely too short," Pfeiffer captioned an Instagram video posted Wednesday evening. "As some of you may know I was lucky enough to work with him on Dangerous Minds in 1995. He won a Grammy for his brilliant song on the soundtrack — which I think was the reason our film saw so much success."
The rapper was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor at a friend's house, manager Jarez Posey told TMZ, which first reported the news. No official cause of death has been determined, but cardiac arrest was suspected, Posey told the website.
