Coolio died Wednesday in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper who achieved enormous success in the 90s was visiting a friend late Wednesday afternoon when he passed away.
Coolio's longtime manager, Jarez, says Coolio went to the bathroom at his friend's house, but when he didn't come after a while the friend kept calling for him, and eventually went in and found Coolio laying on the floor.

We're told the friend called EMTs, who arrived and pronounced Coolio dead on the scene -- and Jarez tells us the paramedics suspect he suffered cardiac arrest. An official cause of death has not been determined. Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., came up on the L.A. rap scene in the late 80s, but blew up nationally in 1995 when he recorded "Gangsta's Paradise" for the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film, "Dangerous Minds."

Coolio was 59.

Really sad news. Loved him all of my life. He wasn't my first guy, that was Young MC, but still very important to my growing up and loving hip hop.

Rest in power

For the record using the toilet is a fairly common trigger for people with cardiac issues. Something about the drop in blood pressure when you go #2 can cause bad things to happen to people with bad hearts.

It feels like most like career rappers generally have very sort life spans compared to most.

Perhaps a consequence of living the fast life for most of it.
