Eazy-E, whose real name was Eric Wright, died on March 26, 1995, at the age of 30 from AIDS-induced pneumonia, one month after his diagnosis. He had been admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with a violent cough and was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. He announced his illness in a public statement on March 16, 1995, and died ten days later. Eazy-E had lived a promiscuous lifestyle and produced seven children with six partners. There have been conspiracy theories surrounding his death, including suggestions that he was murdered or that he contracted the disease through a contaminated blood injection. However, there is no evidence to support these claims, and his official cause of death was listed as pneumonia caused by AIDS.
