Mac, born Malcolm James McCormick, was found dead in his San Fernando Valley home on September 7. Months later, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office released the late rapper’s toxicology report, which confirmed he died from “mixed drug toxicity” — specifically fentanyl and cocaine. The amount of each drug in his system was reportedly not a lethal amount, however, the combination of each drug is what caused his death.

The “Self Care” rapper received a posthumous Grammy nomination — his first-ever — for Best Rap Album for his final album, Swimming, at this year’s award show. While the project wasn’t awarded, Mac was honored during the “In Memoriam” segment of the show.
