Paramedics tried to revive rapper Coolio for 45 minutes after he was found unresponsive in a bathroom at a downtown Los Angeles home Wednesday afternoon, according to reports.
The 59-year-old Grammy-winning musician — whose 1995 single, “Gangsta’s Paradise,” went on to sell more than 5 million copies worldwide — was found unresponsive on the floor of a friend’s home, according to his longtime manager Jarez Posey.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
