Quincy Jones’ cause of death revealed

Quincy Jones’ cause of death has been revealed.

The music mogul died from pancreatic cancer, according to TMZ.

The outlet obtained a copy of Jones’ death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which listed the disease as Jones’ official cause of death.

The document reportedly did not list any other factors that contributed to the 28-time Grammy winner’s passing.

The Post reached out to Jones’ rep for comment.

Jones died on Nov. 3 at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family. He was 91.

The music icon’s publicist Arnold Robinson confirmed the news on Nov. 4.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” Robinson said in a statement.

“And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Jones — who worked with musical legends like Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald — was laid to rest in a private funeral on Nov. 10.

All seven of his children — Jolie, 71; Rachel, 61; Martina, 58; Quincy III, 55; Kidada, 50; Rashida, 48; and Kenya, 31 — along with Jones’ brother and two sisters attended the “intimate ceremony” in Los Angeles, according to a statement the family shared with the Associated Press.

His loved ones added that they were “enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world.”

A public memorial will be planned for a later date, according to the statement.

Jones’ daughter, actress Rashida Jones, paid tribute to her father in a Nov. 7 Instagram post, sharing a heartwarming and deeply personal memory of the late legend.

“My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music),” the “Parks and Recreation” star captioned a photo of her as a baby being held by her father.

“He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work … there was no safer place in the world for me,” she added.

Calling him a “giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius,” Rashida said that all of her father’s music and work “was a channel for his love.”

“He WAS love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy,” she wrote.
