Less than a month after the tragic death of rapper Shawty Lo, new details have surfaced from the night he lost his life.
According to new reports, painkillers were discovered on Lo following his fatal car wreck in Georgia.
Shawty Lo, who was born Carlos Walker, was killed when his 2016 Audi flipped crashed on Interstate 285 at the Cascade Road exit on Sept. 21. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Walker’s cause of death as “blunt force trauma to the head.” Walker’s body bag also reportedly emitted a strong smell of alcohol, the medical examiner told TMZ.
