Raz B’s Infant Son’s Death Ruled Accidental, Medical Examiner Says

Raz B and his wife Mona Li’s infant son, Astro, died accidentally, according to a new report citing the Fulton County Medical Examiner. The finding comes two months after the B2K singer’s family announced the loss of their three-month-old child.

The medical examiner confirmed asphyxia caused by an obstructed airway and also confirmed the accidental manner of death.

The county’s September 10 public notice had listed the cause as pending investigation. That notice recorded Astro’s death on September 8 and an autopsy the following day.

The family’s spokesperson, David Robinson, confirmed the loss in September. At the time, the family described Astro’s death as unexpected and asked for space to grieve.

“The family asks for privacy as they navigate this difficult time and appreciates your love and support in advance,” a statement shared with PEOPLE said. It did not disclose a cause of death.

AllHipHop previously reported the family’s loss in September. Raz B had announced Astro’s arrival through Instagram in May.

The family had shared the lead-up to Astro’s birth while Raz B was back on the road with B2K. In April, Mona Li marked the end of the group’s Boys 4 Life tour with Bow Wow, praising her husband’s determination to keep performing for their family.

By May, those updates had shifted from the stage to the hospital. Raz B posted that they were preparing to welcome another son and thanked his wife for her strength during the pregnancy. He followed with a tribute recognizing her role as a mother and partner.

Raz B rose to prominence alongside Omarion, J-Boog and Lil’ Fizz as a member of B2K.
