More on Juice WRLD

Last month, Juice WRLD, aka Jarad Anthony Higgins, passed away at the age of 21 after suffering a seizure in a Chicago airport. Now, more details have emerged regarding the cause.

On Dec. 9, the day after the rapper died, the autopsy results came back inconclusive. Now, it’s officially being ruled as an accidental overdose.

Initially, in a statement to USA TODAY, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed the first autopsy conducted had come up inconclusive. “The cause and manner of death are pending at this time,” spokesperson Natalia Derevyanny wrote on Dec. 9.

The examiner revealed additional testing would be conducted in order to determine the cause, including toxicology, cardiac pathology and neuropathology. Now, according to Rolling Stone, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office released more information Wednesday stating Higgins “died as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity.” They also confirm the death was accidental.

Juice WRLD rose to recognition with breakout single “Lucid Dreams” in 2018, a track first released on SoundCloud in 2017. It debuted at No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at No. 2. “Lucid Dreams” later appeared on his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance, which released in May 2018.

The track is currently the basis of a lawsuit filed by Yellowcard regarding copyright infringement, which the band says they were “torn” over continuing after his death.
