Juice WRLD swallowed multiple Percocet pills during a police search of his private jet prior to his death, TMZ reports. Several witnesses say the 21-year-old rap star ingested a handful of the powerful pain killer Percocet in an effort to hide them from the police.
The pilot of the private jet Juice and his entourage were traveling in allegedly alerted authorities there were firearms on board, which is highly illegal. When they landed, the FBI and FAA agents were waiting to search the plane.
An autopsy was performed on Monday (December 9) but toxicology, cardiac pathology, and neuropathology tests are still needed before the Cook County Medical Examiner can determine an official cause.
Authorities discovered 70 pounds of marijuana, three guns and a bottle of codeine on the plane. Two of his security guards, Christopher Long and Henry Dean, were arrested on weapons charges. Only one had a permit.
The juice was 21 at the time of his death.
