It’s been over a year since Costantinos Tsobanoglou, the South African musician famous simply as Costa Titch, passed away. But what really caused his death? This is one question that has been thrown all over the place, with seemingly no definitive answer to it.
Well, the late musician’s family appeared to have answered the question finally following the autopsy done on the deceased. The family released a statement in which it noted that the rapper’s death was the result of heart complications compounded by stress.
Titch himself was unaware of the problem before tragedy struck. In part, the family’s statement reads: “The post-mortem examination revealed significant strain on Costa’s heart, unbeknownst to him, compounded by enduring stress and fatigue. This culmination likely led to an irregular heartbeat, triggering the seizure that claimed his life.” It was a tragic end to a brilliant career spanning years.
Until his death, he stood out as one of the key voices in South African hip hop – one that had enormous faith in the genre even at a time when it was claimed that the genre was either dead or dying. He will be missed for his musical brilliance and contribution to South African hip hop.
