Title: Update: Pimp C Died From Cough Syrup, Sleep Apnea Says Coroner
Post by: Lunatic on February 04, 2008, 02:44:15 PM
Roughly two months after his demise, the Los Angeles coroner's office has ruled that UGK member Pimp C died from sleep apnea and an overdose of Promethazine/Codeine syrup.

Pimp C (born Chad Butler) was found dead  in his room at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood, California on December 4th 2007.

According to My Fox Houston, Los Angeles County Asst. Chief Coroner Ed Winter said that Pimp C's death has been ruled as an accident.

Promethazine/Codeine is an over-the-counter drug that is celebrated by Houston rappers and often referred to as "Lean".

Winter also revealed that Pimp C's sleep apnea was a pre-existing health condition. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep.

Pimp C was only 33 years old and is survived by a wife and three children.

i posted this myself, but don't fully understand it. I get the sleep apnea part, but the syrup part, not so much. is it just based on the long-term effects of the syrup? i heard it's actually possible to overdose on this syrup ???

The active ingredient of purple drank is codeine, a narcotic medication contained in prescription cough syrup. It is, however, not made with over-the-counter cough syrups such as Robitussin, which may contain dextromethorphan as well as other drugs. Although dextromethorphan is sometimes used recreationally, it has different effects. Some prescription cough syrups also contain antihistamine medications, such as promethazine, which have a mild sedative effect. When taken in large quantities, both medications can lead to sedation and altered levels of consciousness.[1] The syrup usually used in purple drank contains 10mg of codeine and 6.25 mg of promethazine per 5 mL[citation needed]. Users ingest roughly 120-250 mg of codeine with this dose. When hydrocodone is substituted, the dose can be overwhelming at higher common doses, leading to vomiting and other mild opiate overdose symptoms.

It slows shit up around you, literally...at least it did for me. I have a bottle that was prescribed to me when I had the flu. Its pure codeine/promethazine syrup, not the over-the-counter stuff.

This is why the only syrup I fucks with is maple. Or maybe golden (that's treacle for my fellow UK peeps).

Rest in peace Pimp C. You should have stuck with treacle.
