TMZ was the first to report that the rapper had passed away. The publication reported that Juice WRLD had flown in from California into Chicago's Midway Airport.

As of right now, it's unclear what caused his medical emergency.
Juice WRLD had recently made a name for himself in the music industry. In addition to releasing his hit "Lucid Dreams" in the summer of 2018, he had a feature on Travis Scott's Astroworld album and collaborated with Lil Yachty on a remix of his song "All Girls Are The Same."
