Gospel Singer Terry G Dead at 37 Following Hospitalization: Cause of Death Determined

Multiple media outlets confirmed musician-actor Terry G's death following his recent hospitalization.

According to his manager, Edison December, Terry G - not to be confused with Nigerian rapper Terry G (Gabriel Oche Amanyi) - died on Thursday, December 14, following a cardiac arrest while he was at the Arundel Hospital.

His death came after his mother, Violet Green, asked everyone for prayers as she was in critical condition. Aside from his sudden heart problem, he was also diagnosed with cerebral palsy as soon as he was born. He reportedly had lung disease, as well.

Terry G's family has yet to confirm the details of his funeral and memorial services.

Terry G's Fans Pay Tribute

Fans expressed their heartbreaks on X as they also paid tribute to the late singer.

Nyaradzo Mashayamombe said, "We don't tell people that we see them, that we love and appreciate them. That what they do is great and we like them to succeed. #TerryG ndarwadziwa ufunge."

She added how she wished she had given Terry G a shoutout before his death.

The post continued: "From now on I will make it my purpose to give shout outs for no reason to people that I see, that I like and whose hustle I respect. Yours Terry I respected and it's sad that along with many of us who are writing condolences messages, I didn't let you know I loved your work and vibe. Rest easy Terry."

"Just heard that "Terry G" ZveMoyo HitMaker is dead. Tell me this is not true," another wrote, while a third fan added, "Rip Terry G. We losing Young people as a Nation day by day."

What Were Terry G's Health Issues?

It remains unknown what type of heart and lung diseases he had at the time of his death, but his cerebral palsy diagnosis received the most spotlight as he did not let it hinder him from achieving his dreams.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, cerebral palsy occurs when brain areas sustain damage, losing control of muscle movement. It is reportedly the main cause of childhood disability, with babies born before 28 weeks of gestation having the highest risk overall.

Babies with low birth weight can also have the condition, as well as those whose mothers use substances during pregnancy or suffer preeclampsia.
