Johnny Nunez/WireImage Music producer Sidney “Omen” Brown died because of heart complications, the New York City Medical Examiner’s office has revealed. Brown was found dead in his East Harlem apartment on September 13, 2025. He was 49. The official cause was atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to NBC News . The condition is caused by plaque buildup and can narrow the arteries , making it difficult for blood to flow through. His death was ruled as natural. Brown’s passing came as a shock to family and friends, with his sister Nicole Iris Brown, telling NBC News, “He was holistic and healthy. So we don’t know of him being sick, so this is all pretty sudden.” Brown was found by relatives after his colleagues alerted the family that he did not show up for a DJ shift. The Grammy-winning producer, who worked with music legends including Beyoncé, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, and Drake, was professionally known as “Omen.” Brown was credited in Beyoncé’s 2013 hit “Mine” as a lyricist, composer, and producer for the song.
