The medical examiner determined the rapper's manner of death to be an accident.
The rapper, whose real name is Jarad Anthony Higgins, suffered a medical emergency shortly after arriving at Chicago's Midway International Airport in early December, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told CNN at the time. The entertainer, 21, died at a hospital, according to police.
The day Juice died, Chicago police were called to the airport to assist federal authorities "in regards to a private jet arriving at the airport which contained a large amount of narcotics," police said in a statement. The plane's occupants were found inside the airport with two loaded luggage carts, the report said.
None of the plane's occupants claimed ownership of the luggage, police said.
Artists and Girlfriend Honored Juice WRLD
Artists from Nicki Minaj to Sting paid homage to Juice immediately after his death."He wants everyone to know that you need to take any negative thing in your life, he would tell you every time he saw you and change that to a positive situation. Change that to 999. You gotta keep that in your heart. Can everyone say '999?'" she said on stage.
For Juice WRLD, 999 was significant. He recognized it as the opposite of 666 and represented overcoming negativity.
"He was a gentle soul, whose creativity knew no bounds, an exceptional human being, and artist who loved and cared for his fans above everything else," Interscope's statement read.
