    Heavy D
    Dead at 44

    1108_heavyd_EX_02
    Rap legend Heavy D -- one of the most influential rappers of the '90s -- died earlier today ... TMZ has learned.

    Heavy D -- real name Dwight Arrington Myers -- was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today ... and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.

    We've learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .

    When help arrived, we're told Heavy D was conscious and speaking -- and was transported to a nearby hospital.

    He died a short time later.

    Cops are investigating the death -- and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play. Police are currently at the home.

    Heavy D had several massive hits -- including "Now That We Found Love." He also wrote and performed the theme song for "In Living Color" ... and appeared as an actor in the movie "Life."

    Heavy just performed at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales on October 8. He sang "Jam" with La Toya Jackson -- and rocked it (video below).

    What's even sadder is when you check out his twitter page.
    He just posted 16 hours ago!!! His last tweet was

    "BE INSPIRED!"

    Sigh.

    If I had to guess, I'd bet he had some undiagnosed heart problem, similar to John Ritter.

    This doesn't seem like an OD or anything of that nature.

    Possibly man. Thing is he's also lost a lotta weight since his "Heavy" days.
    Wouldn't you know it, it's after he's lost the majority of the unhealthy weight that he passes on. :(
