When Heavy D passed away in November it was uncertain what caused the death. The reports were that he experienced a shortness of breath before tragically passing. It was also rumored that his weight could have been a factor as well.

The autopsy was released and the Los Angeles Times reports that he suffered a pulmonary embolism caused by deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A pulmonary embolism is blockage of an artery in the lung. What happened was this DVT or blood clot traveled from his leg to his lung basically stopped his breathing. Heart disease could have played factor but the long flight he took from Europe to Los Angeles, CA the day before might be what brought on the blood clot as long periods without physical movement — like a long flight — can cause deep vein thrombosis.
