The cause of death for Jesus Guerrero, a Houston native and celebrity hairstylist who died in February, has been released.
Guerrero was known for working with clients such as Kylie Jenner , Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry , according to NBC News .
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 .
