The world is still mourning Chicago rapper Juice WRLD‘s death as investigators reveal more about the incidents surrounding his death.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Juice WRLD, whose birth name is Jarad Higgins, experienced convulsions and went into cardiac arrest as federal agents and cops were searching his and his entourage’s luggage for drugs and guns at a private hangar at Midway Airport on Sunday morning.

According to law enforcement sources, agents and officers were waiting for Juice WRLD’s crew at Midway early Sunday because they suspected that his private plane from Los Angeles was holding contraband. As authorities were going through two carts of luggage, the rapper “began convulsing (and) going into a seizure,” according to sources. An agent carried out two doses of Narcan, an emergency treatment when opioid overdose is suspected.

We asked a few students about the death of the famous Chicago rapper, and the impact he had on them and the city.

“It’s really sad, I loved his music and his career was just taking off. It’s an unfortunate world we live in,” says Kevin Coe, ‘20.

“The way that he went out was pretty sad, he didn’t deserve it. He was talking about mental health issues and depression in his songs and no one really picked up on it. R.I.P. Juice” claimed Colin Moran, ‘20.

“His music touched a lot of people and he was close to many people, even if they never knew him,” says Zach Keske, ‘24.

The legacy of Juice Wrld will definitely live on. Another young talent gone soon, he will join XXX and Fredo as the artists we lost this year. Rest In Peace Juice…
