    <\/span>Brenda Fassie Death<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Fassie collapsed at her home in Buccleuch, Gauteng on the morning of 26 April 2004, and was admitted into a hospital in Sunninghill.<\/p>\n

    The press was informed that she had suffered cardiac arrest but later reported that she had slipped into a coma brought on by an asthma attack.<\/p>\n

    It was later revealed by post-mortem report that she had taken an overdose of cocaine on the night of her collapse, and this was the cause of her coma. She stopped breathing and suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Brenda Fassie Son<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In 1985 she got a son, named Bongani Fassie, of a fellow Big Dudes musician.<\/p>\n
