This isn't the first time fans heard from Juice's relatives. The rapper's mother, Carmela Wallace, released her own statement on her son's passing four days after his death. However, this is the first joint statement from the entire family.
On Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 22), the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to XXL that the Chicago rapper died "as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity." They also ruled his death an accident.
Juice Wrld was 21 at the time he passed away. The "Lucid Dreams" rapper suffered from a seizure after his private flight landed at Chicago's Midway International Airport from California on Dec. 8. Juice had reportedly ingested the pills in order to hide them from police who searched the plane and its luggage after he landed.
