Juice WRLD, real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, died in December at Chicago's Midway Airport. The 21-year-old was known for his albums Goodbye & Good Riddance, Death Race for Love and WRLD on Drugs.
An Illinois medical examiner's office ruled on Wednesday that Juice WRLD died of an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine after he suffered a seizure.
He suffered the seizure at the airport as police searched his private jet for narcotics and guns. Two of Juice WRLD's bodyguards were charged following the search for unlawful gun possession.
