Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, has shared heartbreaking news confirming the death of her infant daughter. Cori, 26, announced on Instagram Stories on January 31 that her 10-month-old daughter, Codi Dreaux, had passed away. “Monday; I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” she wrote, adding an angel wing emoji.

Following the birth, Cori also shared that she had undergone a C-section after developing HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication.
