Suede was found in the shower area of the Corrective Training Center in Soledad just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, according to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
As a headcount was conducted on Tuesday night about 9:55 p.m., it was apparently established that the rapper (real name Jaime Brugada Valdez) was absent.
According to the reports, CPR was purportedly attempted on the rapper before he was later discovered in another area of the facility.
Despite life-saving efforts, Suede died in the prison medical facility.
Details pertaining to his injuries were not revealed. However, authorities said his death was being investigated as a homicide.
Suede’s attorney, Nicholas Rosenberg, however, told the Los Angeles Times; “They said it was a stabbing to the neck.”
