How Did Snoop Dogg’s Granddaughter Die?

Snoop Dogg’s granddaughter died 20 days after she had been discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the hospital she was born in. Codi Dreaux spent all the 10 months of her life in NICU. Her exact cause of death is not known. Codi Dreaux was born prematurely in February 2025, arriving at 25 weeks, nearly three months earlier than her due date. Her early arrival necessitated an extended stay in the NICU. Rapper Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cori Broadus Delivers First Baby 3 Months Before Her Due Date.

The family had also navigated health challenges during Broadus's pregnancy, with her revealing in February 2025 that she had developed HELLP syndrome, a severe pregnancy complication.

In a January 6, 2026, Instagram post, Cori Broadus expressed immense gratitude upon Codi's homecoming, writing, "She's home. Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all." This joyous milestone, however, was tragically short-lived. Connie Francis Dies: Singer Behind Viral TikTok Song ‘Pretty Little Baby’ Passes Away at 87.
