It’s been reported that Juice suffered the seizure after ingesting several Percocet pills while law enforcement was searching his plane, which authorities allegedly say contained 70 pounds of marijuana and some bottles of codeine.

Authorities allegedly suspect that Juice Wrld swallowed Percocet in a bid to hide them from authorities who were searching the private jet.

Days after his death, his mother released a statement regarding Juice Wrld’s death and his drug addiction.

“We loved Jarad with all of our hearts and cannot believe our time with him has been cut short,” she said, using Juice’s born name of Jarad Higgins. “As he often addressed in his music and to his fans, Jarad battled with prescription drug dependency.”

“Addiction knows no boundaries and its impact goes way beyond the person fighting it,” she continued.

“Jarad was a son, brother, grandson, friend and so much more to so many people who wanted more than anything to see him defeat addiction. We hope the conversations he started in his music and his legacy will help others win their battles as that is what he wanted more than anything. We know that Jarad’s legacy of love, joy and emotional honesty will live on.”
