Popular '90s rapper Heavy D died Tuesday, the L.A. Coroner Chief Craig Harvey told People. He was 44 years old.

"He was transported from a residence in Beverly Hills and was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room," Harvey told People. "The cause of death is yet to be determined; we're investigating it now. We do know that he last saw his doctor two weeks ago."

According to TMZ, the artist, whose real name is Dwight Arrington Myers, was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. today after being taken to a Los Angeles hospital.

At around 11:25 a.m., a 911 call was reportedly made, reporting an unconscious male outside.

TMZ reports that the "Now That We Found Love" rapper was conscious and talking when he was taken to the hospital.

There are reportedly no signs of foul play.
