On Thursday, new details about Juice Wrld’s death were released.
According to the new details, the rapper had stepped from the Gulfstream jet early and was waiting in a private hangar with his girlfriend at Midway Airport when “he let out a gasp and collapsed to the ground.”
Juice was still on the floor, moving and bleeding from his nose and mouth by the time paramedics arrived at around 2 am on December 8.
There were pills scattered around him and paramedics were told that he was given Narcan (naloxone), an antidote to opioid overdose.
His girlfriend said Juice had a drug problem and took Percocet (oxycodone and paracetamol), a powerful opioid and painkiller drug.
Juice, whose real name was Jarad Higgins, “stopped breathing and became pulseless.” The paramedics started CPR and gave him Narcan again with no change in his condition.
He was rushed to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was once again given Narcan with no change in his condition. He was then transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center, Oak Lawn, where he was declared dead at 3:14 am. ER doctors found nine pills in his pockets.
A medical examiner from Cook County did not release a cause of Juice’s death until toxicology tests were completed.
They found that his death was accidental, caused by codeine and oxycodone overdose. They also found other drugs in his system, including THC (a psychoactive stimulant found in marijuana), morphine, and caffeine.
On December 11, Chicago police officers, who were investigating the death of Juice, said they found 41 bags of suspected marijuana and 6 bottles of suspected prescription liquid codeine in his private jet.
The police said federal agents suspected Juice’s private plane was carrying “weapons and narcotics.” According to sources, a drug drug-sniffing dog made a “positive alert” for bags on two luggage carts found in the plane.
