I'm guessing he didn't die of natural causes..
I don't know the reason/motive why but this from the times ledger tallying the deaths at qb houses in 2011.
In January, a Rochdale man, 39-year-old Clarence Williamson, was also found dead at Queensbridge Houses with a gunshot wound in his left shoulder. The NYPD said they were searching for 27-year-old Devon Smith, who police believe has ties to the incident, but had made no arrests.

who is this guy?
Who is he?
Sean Williamson was a well known advocate for the Queensbridge Houses. He was a former athlete and entrepeneur. He had garnered the support of many notable residents in their quest to make Queensbridge Houses one of the most infamously known neighborhoods in the world.
He is credited for the origin of the word "thun" meaning comrade or compatriate, which is now used in everyday hip-hop venacular. His influence spans the hip hop community and he is referenced in numerous songs by Nas, Mobb Deep, Nature and Cormega. His support for his community is what makes him a living legend not only in Long Island City Queens but around the world.
SMALL WORLD. DANGEROUS WORLD.
A lot of people in the DVD had R.I.P. signs superimposed on their scenes, but I recognized someone who didn’t. His name was Clarence “Drawz” Williamson and I met him last year at an AZ/Cormega/Jon Hope show in New York. Let’s just say he was VERY PRO CORMEGA when we spoke at the show.
The reason Drawz didn’t have a rest in peace sign on his portion of this DVD? He was shot and killed way after it was filmed. I recall in early in 2011, while working on a project, Cormega became difficult to reach. Emails went unanswered. I wondered if he wanted to proceed with the project or not.
Finally he said “My friend just died.” Shot in Queens like so many others, Drawz was not going coming back.
We finished the project but I remember being horrified at the thought of this artist making it to adulthood and finding himself still subject to losing friends to senseless violence year after year. That part of the DVD was hard to watch but it reminded me to let people know that you care for them before they’re
