Fact check
Is it true: Juice WRLD's 2019 death: federal-agent pill-swallow vs. natural OD?
There's no solid evidence for it.
Cook County Medical Examiner: accidental oxycodone and codeine toxicity. TMZ (citing unnamed law-enforcement sources) and the Chicago Sun-Times (citing a police source) reported that Higgins swallowed Percocet pills around the time of the federal search, possibly to hide them; Chris Long, a member of Higgins' team who was on the plane, publicly disputed that account. Documented: he died during the search, of accidental opioid toxicity. Unproven: that the search caused the reported pill-swallow, which is plausible but rests on anonymous sources and is disputed. There is no evidence of deliberate killing or a cover-up.
