How Did Juice WRLD Die? What Were Juice Wrld’s Last Words?

On December 8, 2019, American rapper, Jarad Anthony Higgins, known professionally as Juice Wrld, was aboard a private Gulfstream jet flying from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles to Midway International Airport in Chicago.

Law enforcement officers were waiting for the jet to arrive, having been notified by federal agents, while the flight was en route, that they suspected there were guns and drugs on the plane.

Law enforcement officials later revealed that they found 70 lb (32 kg) of marijuana on the aircraft and said several members of Higgins’ management team aboard the flight told them that Higgins had taken “several unknown pills”, including allegedly swallowing multiple Percocet pills to hide them while police were on board the plane searching the luggage.

Higgins then began convulsing and seizing, after which two doses of the emergency medication Narcan were administered as an opioid overdose was suspected.

Higgins was transported to the nearby Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.

On January 22, 2020, the Cook County Medical Examiner stated that Higgins died as a result of toxic levels of oxycodone and codeine present in his system.

Higgins’ funeral was held on December 13, 2019, at the Holy Temple Cathedral Church of God in Christ in Harvey, Illinois.

Friends and family were in attendance, including collaborators Ski Mask the Slump God and Young Thug.
