Unfortunate news began to hit the internet last night as it was revealed that up-and-coming artist Lil Loaded had passed away at the age of 20.

While initial reports had an inconclusive cause of death, the final post on Loaded's Instagram page as well as recent comments from his lawyer have many believing it is a likely suicide.

It's a truly sad end of the story for an artist that was picking up steam over the past year plus. In October of last year he allegedly shot his friend, a8-year-old Khalil Walker. In what has been described as an accidental shooting, the Dallas rapper was arrested for murder after Walker died and was indicted on a charge of manslaughter earlier this year and was free on bond.
