Following the Nov. 3 death of music legend Quincy Jones at age 91, his cause of death has been revealed.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health revealed that he died of pancreatic cancer, with no other contributing factors cited, according to CNN.
Earlier in the week on Monday (Nov. 11), the 28-time Grammy-winning producer, arranger and composer was laid to rest in an “intimate ceremony included Mr. Jones’ seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members,” according to a statement shared with The Associated Press. The family added in the statement that they remain “enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world. Details for a memorial celebration of Mr. Jones’ life will be announced at a later date.” In lieu of flowers, Jones’ family previously asked for donations to the Jazz Foundation of America.
“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” his family said in a statement at the time of his death. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
“He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly; we take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created. Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.”
Among his family’s survivors are his seven children, including actress Rashida Jones.
