Authorities say Shabazz was found inside of her Brooklyn home by her daughter.

According to the report, the death of Malikah Shabazz, did not appear to be suspicious, said a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner, who will determine the cause of death. A high-ranking police official said accidental food poisoning may have played a role.
