The full autopsy and toxicology report is now open to the public so Juice WRLD’s fan and friends can know the cause of his death.
The police detained the rapper, born Jarad A. Higgins, at Chicago’s Midway Airport on December 8. This was after police got a tip to the possible presence of drugs and guns.

Sources told TMZ that it is likely Juice WRLD swallowed a large number of Percocet pills; in order to prevent the police from discovering them.
