Rapper Juice WRLD's death ruled an accident due to oxycodone and codeine toxicity
Juice WRLD's death has been ruled an accident. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office announced Wednesday that the 21-year-old rapper died of oxycodone and codeine toxicity. Juice WRLD, real name Jarad Higgins, passed away on Dec. 8 after suffering a seizure at Chicago's Midway International Airport. An autopsy was conducted last month; however, his cause of death was pending toxicology results.
— Cook County ME January 22, 2020 The Chicago rapper suffered convulsions and went into cardiac arrest as federal agents searched his and his entourage’s luggage. Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the FBI and local police officers were tipped off that a private plane flying from Los Angeles to Midway was carrying drugs and guns. They were waiting for the Gulfstream jet when it landed.
When Juice WRLD began convulsing, his girlfriend apparently informed officers he regularly took Percocet and had"a drug problem." An agent then administered two doses of Narcan, an emergency treatment which reverses the effects of opioids. The"Lucid Dreams" performer woke up, but was"incoherent," according to authorities. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
