Coolio died Wednesday in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.
The rapper who achieved enormous success in the 90s was visiting a friend late Wednesday afternoon when he passed away.
Coolio's longtime manager, Jarez, says Coolio went to the bathroom at his friend's house, but when he didn't come after a while ... the friend kept calling for him, and eventually went in and found Coolio laying on the floor.
We're told the friend called EMTs, who arrived and pronounced Coolio dead on the scene -- and Jarez tells us the paramedics suspect he suffered cardiac arrest. An official cause of death has not been determined.

So many music legends from that time have died in the last year.

RIP Coolio. Never forget his appearance on Irish daytime chatshow Open House, who, legend has it, booked him by mistake. They hadn't arranged backing dancers, so he made the middle-age production crew dress up and do it instead. Best TV ever.

But it was one of my favorite tracks.
RIP, Coolio

Another shocking loss, this week. William Rivers Pit, and Coolio. Damn, both of them, with it seemed lives ahead of them, so much to say, to create and sing to the world. Too young and vital, to leave so suddenly. R.I.P. .
