The 21-year-old rapper, whose single “Lucid Dreams” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018, died after suffering a medical emergency at Midway Airport, officials said

Emergency crews responded to the airport about 3:30 a.m. after the 21-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jarad Anthony Higgins, experienced an unknown “medical issue,” according to the Chicago Fire Department and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Chicago police confirmed that a 21-year-old man suffered a medical emergency at the airport a short time earlier after getting off a private jet.
TMZ first reported Juice WRLD died after having a seizure.

Autopsy will follow & sad because his career was just starting and he was on his way up . His album went to Number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
