Jesus Guerrero's Cause of Death Revealed by LA Officials
Wondering what the official cause of death was for celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero? Known for styling stars like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez, Guerrero's unexpected passing at 34 shocked fans and clients alike. Months later, medical officials have released the findings behind his sudden death. Here's what caused Guerrero's death and what the official reports now confirm. Celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, known for working with Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Katy Perry, died on February 22, 2025, at age 34. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has confirmed that his cause of death was pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and disseminated cryptococcus neoformans, with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) listed as a contributing condition. His manner of death was determined to be natural. Guerrero's family initially announced his death on February 23, describing it as 'sudden and unexpected.' A GoFundMe page organized by his sister Gris echoed this description. According to the DME report, Guerrero sought medical attention on the afternoon of February 21 after reporting that he felt unwell. Medical staff pronounced him dead the following morning at a local hospital. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines cryptococcosis as a fungal disease caused by inhaling environmental spores. It usually affects the lungs or brain. Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia is another serious fungal infection linked to weakened immune systems. If untreated, it can be life-threatening. According to the Mayo Clinic, AIDS severely weakens the immune system and increases the risk of such infections. Guerrero had recently returned from Dubai, where he had been working with Jennifer Lopez, and had spent time in Los Angeles with Kylie Jenner prior to his death. Guerrero's family held his funeral in Houston on March 30. Jenner, Lopez, and several figures from the beauty industry attended the service. Although Katy Perry could not attend, she stayed in contact with the family. Jenner reportedly offered financial support and covered funeral expenses. As of June 3, the family's GoFundMe campaign raised $96,000, which will now go toward settling Guerrero's personal assets and related costs.
