ATLANTA, GA. (THECOUNT) — Rapper, T.I.‘s older sister, Precious Harris had enough cocaine in her system to trigger heart arrhythmia when she crashed a vehicle in February, according to the Medical Examiner’s report.
The Fulton County M.E.’s report says Precious died from “cocaine toxicity which aggravated hypertensive cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure).” The report goes on to say the high blood pressure caused an abnormal heart rhythm … which went on long enough that disrupted the blood flow to her organs, including, most importantly, her brain, reports TMZ Thursday.

According to her daughter, Harris, 66, died Friday after spending over a week in the hospital following a car accident in Atlanta.
Her daughter shared a tribute to her mother saying:
“From my bestfriend on earth to My beautiful angel in heaven,” reported TMZ on Friday.
She added … “I love you so much. I’m so heartbroken but the way you looked so @ peace this past week has confirmed that you are resting… no more asthma attacks… damn but baby I am going to miss you.”
According to TMZ, T.I. and his wife, Tiny shut down production of ‘Friends & Family Hustle’ last week, after learning Precious was involved in a wreck earlier that morning.
