Theresa Bailey, Coronji‘s mother, says that he died from “congestive heart failure and problems with his lungs.”
Coronji did not have life insurance, so a GoFundMe page was set up to help his family create a “sacred celebration of life.”
Halle and Lee Daniels both contributed $3,394 each to the fund, which helped the GoFundMe page hit its goal.
Coronji is survived by his 10-year-old son and 13-year-old stepson. We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.
