The 21-year-old rapper died after suffering seizures at a Chicago airport. He was traveling from California to Illinois.
According to The New York Times Police were waiting for the rapper’s private jet to arrive after receiving a tip from a federal task force about drugs and guns on board.
The investigators were searching the rapper and his 10-12 member entourage when Juice WRLD started having a medical emergency. Officials administered Narcan to the rapper in an attempt to revive him. Chicago police spokesperson, Anthony Guglielmi, said the rapper was “basically convulsing” at a private hanger of the airport.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead at 3:14 a.m.

After the death of XXXTentacion and Lil Peep, Juice WRLD dropped an EP “Too Soon.” The EP featured a song “Legends” where he rapped about his friends’ deaths.
He spoke to the The New York Times about drugs, “I smoke weed, and every now and then I slip up and do something that’s poor judgment. I have a lot going for me, I recognize it’s a lot of big things, a lot of big looks. I want to be there, and you don’t have to overdose to not be there.”
Fans have been flooding Juice WRLD’s social media with messages. One said, “i usually have an answer to the question but this time im gone be quiet... this time...”
