Family members announced Guerrero’s death on Instagram on Feb. 23.

A Los Angeles County medical examiner determined Guerrero’s primary cause of death as pneumonia and disseminated cryptococcus neoformans — or a fungal infection — with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome listed as the secondary cause of death.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, the kind Guerrero was listed as having, is a particularly severe kind of pneumonia that is typically seen in people with weak immune systems, making the AIDS diagnosis likely to be a contributing factor, NBC News reports.
