Quincy Jones' cause of death has been revealed

Quincy Jones died of pancreatic cancer, according to his death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and obtained by TMZ on Wednesday.

There were reportedly no other factors that contributed to his death.

According to the National Cancer Institute, pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

The legendary music producer did not reveal that he had cancer before his death at the age of 91.

Page Six reached out to the LA County Department of Public Health and the star's representative for confirmation.

Jones died on November 3rd at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by his loved ones.

“While this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him,” his publicist Arnold Robinson said in a statement.

His family held an “intimate” ceremony to bury him on Sunday, the Associated Press reported.

All seven of his children were there: Jolie, 71, Rachel, 61, Martina, 58, Quincy III, 55, Kidada, 50, “Parks and Recreation” star Rashida, 48, and Kenya, 31.

His family told the AP that they were “very grateful for the condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world.”

They also confirmed that fans can expect a public celebration of his life at a later date.

Jones' last social media post celebrated his daughter Martina's birthday.

“Happy birthday to my Tina Beena @martinafotos1!! 🎉. So proud to be your dad! Big hug, I love you forever 🫶🏾💜,” he wrote alongside a snap of them together.

The 28-time Grammy winner's famous daughter Rashida penned an emotional tribute to him on social media following his death, remembering him as an “icon,” “culture changer” and “genius.”

She also remembered her safe place as a child: being by his side while he worked on his music.

“When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night looking for him,” she wrote. “No doubt he would be somewhere in the house, composing (the old-fashioned way, with a pen and sheet music).”

“He would never send me to bed again. He smiled and took me in his arms as he continued to work…there was no safer place in the world for me.”

Jones became known as a jazz composer in the 1950s.

During his 70-year career, he worked with some of the biggest stars of the 20th century, including Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra.
