Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Revealed as KeKe Jabbar’s Cause of Death
KeKe Jabbar‘s cause of death has been revealed … TMZ has learned she died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
TMZ has obtained the autopsy report from the Alabama medical examiner … and it shows the reality star had 64% carboxyhemoglobin in her blood.
Carboxyhemoglobin is what forms in red blood cells when carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin … which sticks 200 times more tightly than oxygen.
Normal levels are usually under 2% for non-smokers, and under 5% for smokers — and KeKe’s level of 64% was deadly.
The toxicology report reveals KeKe also had oxycodone and oxymorphone in her system … but poisoning was the main culprit behind her death.
KeKe, famous for starring on OWN’s “Love & Marriage: Huntsville,” died back in July … with her family saying in a statement she died “peacefully at home surrounded in love.”
Besides her TV fame, KeKe was also a writer, editor, author and professor.
She was only 42.
RIP
