The medical examiner has ruled the death of hip hop mogul Chris Lighty a suicide.

Lighty was found with a gunshot wound to the head at his Bronx home Thursday.

Police say they found a black handgun at the scene.

No note was recovered.

The 44-year-old worked with some of rap and R&B's stars including New York acts LL Cool J, Mariah Carey, Sean "Diddy" Combs and 50 Cent.

Lighty and his wife, Veronica, were in the middle of a divorce and court records show he was having financial problems.
