The Los Angeles coroner's office yesterday (December 27) revealed that it will take another two weeks before the cause death of UGK rapper Pimp C is known.

Pimp C (born Chad Butler) was found dead on his in a room at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood, California earlier this month. Foul play in the rapper's death has been ruled out by authorities.

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

The late Houston rapper and his partner in rhyme, Bun B, released their seventh group album titled U.G.K. (Underground Kingz) earlier this year.  The set debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and its first single, “Int'l Players Anthem (I Choose You)”, earned the group a Grammy nomination.

It was the group's first project together since Pimp C’s 2005 release from prison.  During Pimp C’s incarceration, Bun B released a solo album titled Trilla.  Pimp C would release his solo project, Pimpalation, in 2006.

Bun B will be releasing his second solo album, II Trill, in March 2008.
