Up-and-coming rapper Luci4 — best known for his viral hit “BodyPartz” — died earlier this year … and now we know the cause.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner … the musician — born James Dear — died of an accidental fentanyl overdose.
We broke the news … the 23-year-old was found dead on February 22, at a friend’s house in L.A.
The Los Angeles Fire Department told us at the time … they responded to a medical call at the house at 11:40 AM … but when they arrived, the person was already deceased, so police were notified.
Luci4 made waves online as a pioneer of the internet microgenre Sigilkore … blowing up on TikTok in 2021 and eventually landing a deal with Atlantic Records.
“BodyPartz” exploded across social media and went gold, certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.
