The Cook County Medical examiner has released a report on the cause of death of late American rapper, Juice Wrld. The examiner in the report published by TMZ, stated that the Chicago rapper died from an accidental overdose of Oxycodone.
According to the report, the medical examiner’s office said it found Oxycodone and codeine in the system of Juice Wrld and determined he died from toxic levels of those drugs.
Juice WRLD died in early December following a drug bust at Midway Airport in Chicago. Witnesses believed the rapper had swallowed a bunch of Percocet pills in an attempt to hide them from the Police. He ultimately suffered seizures, which proved fatal.
Oxycodone is the main active ingredient in Percocet. Juice often rapped and talked about abusing lean aka codeine cough syrup. So, the presence of codeine in his system adds up, TMZ added.
His mother Carmella Wallace who also spoke about his death and drug use, had told TMZ that her son had “battled with prescription drug dependency.” She had said she hoped that Juice’s openness about his struggles would help others dealing with the same issues.
The Police also found 70 pounds of weed in multiple vacuum-sealed bags inside luggage from the private jet. But, as we reported … it doesn’t appear anyone will be charged for the weed.
The Chicago rapper whose career was just picking up, was just 21 when he died late last year….RIP #juicewrld
