Juice WRLD's Friend Posts Videos Of Rapper's Final Moments On Twitter
Rapper Juice WRLD died early Sunday after experiencing an intense seizure at Chicago's Midway airport upon landing. The 21-year-old performer, who was also known as Jarad Anthony Higgins, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois, where he was pronounced dead, reports CBS News.
In the wake of his death, two videos have emerged showing what is reported to be some of the Billboard award-winning rapper's final moments. The footage shows the rapper having fun with friends before landing at the airport.
According to TMZ, the videos were posted on Twitter by DJ Akademiks, a hip-hop entertainment personality and friend of Higgins.
The first video shows Higgins giggling as he attains a water bottle. Snickering can be heard amongst the friends as Higgins approaches one of the sleeping passengers. He then proceeds to splash water on the unwitting man’s face, waking him up -- a harmless prank that amounts to the man merely shaking his head and smiling.
The second video candidly shows the group of friends hanging out on the plane before the video cuts to footage of the aircraft after appearing to land in Chicago. The footage is followed by a short message from Akademiks that reads, “I’m not okay. My brother. My best friend.”
TMZ reported on Monday that "people on the plane" told authorities the rapper had "popped several pills prior to suffering seizures." One of Juice's associates is also reported to have told police that the perform had "a Percocet problem."
The outlet stated that 70-lbs of marijuana and codeine cough syrup were found on the plane. Two men, Chris Long and Henry Dean, were also arrested for possession of handguns. A total of three guns were located.
At press time, the official cause of death for Juice WRLD is unknown.
