He reported shortness of breath and died before an ambulance could reach him. He had an incurable lung condition that scarred his lungs....

i think that is why he settled the lawsuit, he knew he was going to die and didn't want to leave with a grudge, plus he probably felt bad for kanye for losing his mom, but i still hate kayne......he doesn't know when to shut up!

R.I.P. Evel
