Juice WRLD cause of death

Juice WRLD cause of death was caused by an accidental overdose of codeine and oxycodone, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office revealed on Wednesday, January 23, 2020.
“The Medical Examiner’s Office has determined the cause and manner of death of 21-year-old Jarad A. Higgins.
“Higgins died as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity. The manner of death is accident,” the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office tweeted on Wednesday.

YaahooJournalist recalls that Juice WRLD suffered a seizure shortly after arriving at Midway International Airport on Dec. 8, the Chicago Police Department said. The rapper was quickly transported to a local hospital and was pronounced dead hours later.

“The announcement that the rapper had oxycodone, an opioid that is a pain killer, and codeine in his system follows initial reports that a federal agent who was at the airport to search the plane administered the opioid antidote Narcan to the performer after he’d gone into convulsions,” the Associated Press reported.

Meanwhile, YaahooJournalist understands that several of the people who had accompanied the 21-year-old singer on the flight from Los Angeles to his hometown of Chicago were arrested for possession of a firearm, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Juice WRLD often sang about his own drug use before he eventually died of an accidental overdose of codeine and oxycodone.
