The 44-year-old actress and singer died from natural causes of "hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease," according to a report from Tennessee's Davidson County Medical Examiner's office, obtained by PEOPLE.
Hypertension is more commonly known as high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis describes the "thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery," according to John Hopkins Medical.

I’m feeling Doja cat song these days! 😀
Why is that white cat woman here?
That woman was a singing woman. I tell ya. She played the hell outta that role too. Just TALENTED!
Rest In Power!
What a voice! I often wonder why people end up dying right at the moment they're about to take off and get to the big leagues. She was on her way and now she's gone. RIP.
RIP to Ms. Shonka Dukureh. Grace and peace to her children and her family.
RIP to Ms. Dukureh and condolences to her family. Big Mama Thornton was truly a force of Nature may she be forever appreciated and venerated.
Lizzo...this is your future
Do you ever wonder why some overweight people die early and some people stay fat until old age? It's because heredity plays a bigger part in people's health than a lot of us would like to believe. Anon 1:13 could be skinny as hell and get diagnosed with cancer tomorrow--all while making death predictions for others. Just live your life as you see fit and have fun doing it.
Anon shut your mouth. This is not a Cryrese posting.
It could have been prevented. However, Rest in Power.
I get looked at all stupid because I don’t eat fried chicken and everything else that causes hypertension. Skinny people who eat fried foods aren’t exempt either. Lizzo is on her way if she doesn’t get it under control. Big Pun died from not taking care of his body. People always think it won’t be them particularly her because she moves around enough to get tired and then relax. It’s no joke. Hypertension is a silent killer. I make sure to check mine daily.
