Notorious B.I.G. was killed by a single bullet that pierced several vital organs in a 1997 drive-by shooting, a long-sealed autopsy report released Friday shows.
The rapper was hit four times in the shooting, which 15 years later remains one of Los Angeles' highest-profile unsolved murders.
The report had been sealed at the request of detectives until last week, chief coroner investigator Craig Harvey said. The 23page report details the trajectory of each of the shots that hit the rapper, whose name was Christopher Wallace. Investigators determined that a single shot that hit his left lung, heart and colon led to the 24-year-old's death.
No drugs or alcohol were found in his system, the report states.
The rapper from Brooklyn, New York, had just left a music industry event when he was shot. Los Angeles police and the FBI have investigated the killing, but no arrests have been made. Neither agency had any immediate comment on the release of the report.
