Before Heath Ledger and Jeremy Beadle there was Pimp C – the rapper who died mysteriously in December.
But now a coroner has officially declared that Pimp C's cause of death was down to drinking too much cough syrup. Honestly.
Incidentally, one of Pimp C's best-known songs was Sippin On Some Sizzurp, all about how nice it is to drink loads of cough medicine at one. It's an irony not seen since Steve Irwin recorded the Baton Rouge Jigg gangsta classic Fightin With Some Stizzrays.
