MF DOOM’s cause of death has been revealed, nearly three years after he passed away.The British-born rapper — whose real name is Daniel Dumile — died on October 31, 2020, aged 49.

However, his cause of death had never been disclosed.Now, his wife Jasmine Dumile has confirmed that her partner passed away from a condition known as angioedema — a rare and severe reaction he had to his blood pressure medication.An inquiry into his death shed new details on the circumstances that led to his passing, and Jasmine explained that the musician suffered from a number of health conditions including high blood pressure and kidney disease.As per the inquiry (reported via LeedsLive), MF DOOM was prescribed angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to treat his high blood pressure, but after two doses he developed a severe reaction.

This included swelling in his mouth and throat, and difficulty breathing.He was hospitalised at St James’ Hospital in Leeds following the reaction and his condition later worsened, leading to him being placed on a respirator.

Due to the ongoing pandemic at the time, Jasmine was not allowed to be with her husband in the hospital.She has claimed that it was negligence by the staff at the Leeds hospital that led to MF DOOM’s eventual passing, and alleged that those working at St James’ Hospital at the time failed to check on her husband frequently.
