The rapper born Jarad Higgins died early Sunday morning after suffering a seizure shortly after his private plane landed at Chicago\u2019s Midway Airport. Many questions surrounding the death remain unanswered<\/a>, with the Cook\u2019s County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office announcing on Tuesday that \u201c[additional] studies are required to establish the cause and manner of death.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Chicago Tribune<\/a><\/em>, authorities were searching for contraband when Higgins began convulsing. Agents administered Narcan and called an ambulance. He was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center. Authorities reportedly found 41 bags of marijuana, six bottles of prescription codeine cough syrup, along with firearms.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Rolling Stone on Sunday, Interscope Records said, \u201cJuice made a profound impact on the world in such a short period of time. 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. To lose someone so kind and so close to our hearts is devastating. Our thoughts are with Juice\u2019s family and friends, everyone at his label Grade A, and his millions of fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
