Juice WRLD, the rising Chicago rapper who topped the album charts in 2019 with his acclaimed Death Race for Love, has died at the age of 21.
The rapper born Jarad Higgins reportedly suffered a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport on Sunday; he was rushed to a nearby hospital in “extremely critical condition” where he was pronounced dead, TMZ first reported. The Cook County medical examiner confirmed Higgins’ death to Rolling Stone. “The autopsy has not been performed at this time,” a spokesperson for the medical examiner said.
“A 21-year-old male suffered a medical emergency and was transferred to [Advocate Christ Medical Center] in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead,” a rep for the Chicago Police Department told Rolling Stone; authorities would not identify the male as the investigation was still pending. No cause of death was provided, but CPD spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told the Chicago Sun-Times that “no signs of foul play [were] evident to officers.” “Whether this is a narcotics issue or not is yet to be determined,” Guglielmi added.
