Quincy Jones' cause of death revealed: report

Quincy Jones' cause of death has been revealed.

According to TMZ, the music mogul died of pancreatic cancer.

The outlet obtained a copy of Jones' death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which listed illness as Jones' official cause of death.

The document reportedly did not list any other factors that contributed to the 28-time Grammy winner's death.

Jones died on November 3rd at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by his family. He was 91.

The music icon's publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed the news on November 4th.

“Tonight it is with full but broken hearts that we must share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones,” Robinson said in a statement.

“And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he led and know there will never be another like him.”

Jones – who worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald – was buried at a private funeral on November 10.
