Luci4, the 23-year-old rapper best known for his hit song, "BodyPartz," has passed away. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the news to TMZ, but they have yet to confirm a cause of death.
Additionally, the rapper's grandparents told the outlet that he died at a friend’s house in L.A. on Sunday. They also don't know what happened, but remain suspicious of the circumstances. They say his wallet was empty and that they had recently warned him about the friends with whom he was associating.
It remains unclear whether police suspect foul play. They received a call around 11:40 AM and set up a crime scene after getting to the house. Luci4 was already deceased upon their arrival.
