When Ice-T was in third grade, his mother suddenly died of a heart attack.

He says, "My mother was a very supportive and smart woman, and I know she cared about me, although she wasn't very affectionate toward me. I only have a few specific memories of her, vague and distant, like some grainy home movie, someplace in the back of my mind.
