# Heartbreaking Loss: Snoop Dogg's Family Mourns 10-Month-Old Granddaughter Codi Just Weeks After Her Miracle Homecoming **Imagine the joy of finally bringing your premature baby home after 10 grueling months in the NICU—only to face unimaginable heartbreak days later.** This is the devastating reality for Snoop Dogg's daughter, Cori Broadus, who announced the passing of her infant daughter, Codi, on January 26, 2026[1][2][3]. Codi was born three months premature in February 2025, at just six months gestation, due to Cori developing HELLP syndrome—a severe pregnancy complication[3][4]. Weighing in as a tiny fighter, she spent over 300 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), defying odds with her resilience and spirit[1][5]. Cori, who has battled lupus since childhood and even suffered a stroke in 2024, became a beacon for other NICU families, sharing raw updates and celebrating milestones like NICU Awareness Month[2][3][4]. Just three weeks ago, the family rejoiced as Codi finally came home. "She's home. Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all," Cori posted alongside tender photos of them cuddling[1][3][4]. Doctors had praised Codi as a "feisty little firecracker"—smart, alert, and full of character despite her challenges[5]. Tragically, Codi passed away on Monday, leaving her mother shattered. Cori shared a black-and-white photo of herself cradling her "love of her life," writing, "Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi 🪽," and later, "Waiting for someone to tell me to wake up, and this is just a bad dream"[1][2][3]. Codi's father, Wayne Deuce, echoed the grief: "I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you"[1][4]. In response, **Snoop Dogg rallied his family** with a poignant Instagram post featuring himself alongside Cori, 26, and sons Corde, 31, and Cordell, 28. His simple caption—a pink heart and prayer hands emoji—spoke volumes of unwavering support[2][3][4][5]. Cordell added, "Lil sis, we got you forever," highlighting the Broadus family's unbreakable bond[5].
