The Hip Hop world was in shock earlier today when it was reported that WorldstarHipHop founder Lee "Q" O'Denat had passed away at the young age of 43. A few hours later the WorldStar Instagram page posted a message of Q's passing, stating "We ask that you remember Q in your prayers and raise a toast to the sky in his name."

San Diego Police have now confirmed that Q was at a massage parlor in a San Diego shopping center when he suddenly went unconscious. The paramedics were called to the business but were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead at 5:30 p.m. According to the coroner, the cause of death was "heart disease, with obesity considered a contributing factor."
