As authorities determine the exact cause of Juice WRLD’s death, there are reports that the rapper ingested ‘several’ Percocet pills right before his passing. Doctors explain to HollywoodLife how this may have led to the ‘Lucid Dreams’ singer’s tragic end. The cause of Juice WRLD’s death still remains a mystery. The rapper (born Jarad Anthony Higgins) died on Dec. 8 after suffering a medical emergency while at Chicago’s Midway International Airport. An autopsy, conducted by Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, failed to determine precisely what killed the 21-year-old music star. The office said that Cardiac pathology, neuropathology, toxicology, and histology testing are still necessary to get to the bottom of it. “There were no signs of foul play, and all individuals aboard the aircraft are cooperating with CPD and have given all of their information,” Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement to CNN. Amid the confusion and anguish surrounding this young man’s death, unidentified sources told TMZ that Juice WRLD was “seen swallowing several Percocet pills” in what was believed to be an attempt to hide them. His girlfriend told agents that he had been taking the opioid painkiller, according to The Guardian. Juice was also reportedly given Narcan, an opioid antidote, by a federal agent in the Chicago airport. While there is no official indication that Percocet was behind Juice’s death, two medical professionals spoke EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife about how this painkiller might have led to his end. Taking “several” of the pills could result in a “respiratory overdose,” Dr. John Dombrowski, MD, Pain Management Specialist, and BioCorRx partner, tells HollywoodLife. “We don’t know what other substances were in his system, which could have increased his chance of death.” With reports that Juice also suffered a seizure, Dr. Dombrowski explained that “sometimes, people have low oxygen in the brain and that can cause a seizure.” “Narcan can reverse the effects of an overdose, but if you take too many narcotics, 1 shot of Narcan may not be enough to revive you,” Dr. Dombrowski tells us. When asked if a combination of cannabis and alcohol could have caused the seizure, Dr. Dombrowski said that “alcohol certainly can lead to seizures, but marijuana generally does not, unless it is laced with something else.” Dr. Robert Bos, a New York City-based doctor who is board certified in internal medicine, spoke at length with HollywoodLife about the effects that Percocet may have had on Juice WRLD’s death (note: neither Dr. Bos or Dr. Dombrowski have viewed the case.) HollywoodLife: We don’t know for sure what caused this young man’s death, but it has been suggested that in a panic, he took pills that people are assuming are Percocet before the alleged seizure happened. I know that, in your original answer to me, you said that Percocet may not necessarily lead to seizures. Is that correct? Why is that? Dr. Bos: “That’s correct
