ATLANTA — An incident report released by the Atlanta Police Department provides some new details about the death of rapper Rich Homie Quan.
In the incident report obtained by 11Alive, the responding officer stated that he received a call from the girlfriend of Dequantes Devontay Lamar — Rich Homie Quan’s real name. The woman said that on Thursday, Sept. 5, she woke up at 6:45 a.m. to take several kids to school at Lamar’s home on Hamden Forest Drive SW in Atlanta.
She said she woke up and realized Lamar was not in the bedroom. When she went downstairs, she noticed the rapper asleep on the couch. When she got back from dropping the kids off, the report says that his girlfriend saw him on the couch, believing he was asleep, and she went back up to bed to go back to sleep.
Then, at 11 a.m., she woke back up and went back to the couch to check on him, the incident report revealed. That’s when she noticed that his body was cold, and he did not appear to be breathing. She immediately called 911, the incident report said.
The responding officer said he did not see any foul play when he got to the home. The responding officer said Rich Homie Quan did not appear to be “alert, conscious, or breathing” when he got to the home and checked on him.
Rich Homie Quan’s brother told police that he woke up at 3 a.m. and noticed the rapper asleep on the floor by the kitchen with food in his mouth, according to the incident report. The officer said his brother said it was “very unusual,” and he picked him up off the floor and put him on the couch.
A cause of death has not been immediately released. An autopsy was completed on the rapper on Friday, but results won’t be released until further tests are completed.
