According to TMZ, the exact cause of the comedian's death is unknown. But they're investigating his death. Right now, they're waiting for a toxicology report to come back to determine the cause of his death. But they're leaning towards natural causes rather than homicide or foul play.

Singh reportedly passed away in the San Francisco area. For the past year, the comedian had been touring the country, playing in comedy clubs and theaters. More recently, he performed in Manteca on November 2.
Singh gained popularity after appearing in Season 16 of America's Got Talent. He made it all the way to the semifinals before he ended up getting eliminated. However, he used his appearance on the show to boost his own comedy career. Prior to his death, Singh had a very busy schedule.
Following his passing several people sent tributes to Singh. One person wrote, "Such a horrible loss to the comedy community. @Kabeezy was a ray of light that will be missed." Another wrote, "I love you, @Kabeezy. I will miss you. May you rest in peace."
Yet another wrote, "@Kabeezy was one of nicest people I've ever met. Can't believe the last I saw you would be the last time. Rest easy, Fam! My condolences to Kim, his family, friends & fans."
Another wrote, "Kabir, you were a guiding light to all Bay Area comics, showing us that if you work hard enough your talent will shine through. From your stand up, to writing on Family Guy, to working with the Lonely Island on "Never Stop, Stopping," you were a force to be reckoned with. You were funny even when you weren't trying to be and gave solid, memorable advice to those who asked. You will be greatly missed."
