(TMZ) TMZ has learned rapper Pimp C died as a result of a preexisting condition he had of sleep apnea, combined with an accidental overdose of prescription codeine. His death has been ruled accidental by the L.A. County Coroner.

33-year-old Pimp C, whose real name was Chad Butler, was one half of the rap duo UGK. He was found dead in his bed at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood last month.

UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. the night before he died. - More TMZ music coverage
