His death occurred at a friend’s home in Los Angeles, according to his grandparents, who spoke to TMZ.\n\nFamily members said they are seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding his death. They told the outlet they were concerned after learning the rapper’s wallet had been emptied and that they had recently warned him about the people he had been spending time with as his fame grew.\n\nThe Los Angeles Fire Department said crews responded to a medical call at the residence at 11:40 am but found the individual already deceased. Police were subsequently notified.\n\nLaw enforcement sources told TMZ officers established a crime scene upon arrival. The investigation remains ongoing and it is not yet clear whether foul play is suspected.\n\nLuci4 rose to prominence online as a pioneer of the internet microgenre sigilkore, gaining traction on TikTok in 2021 before signing with Atlantic Records.\n\nHis breakout track ‘BodyPartz’ spread widely across social media and was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.\n\nAuthorities have not released further details as the investigation continues.\n\nThe post Rapper Luci4 dead at 23 as ‘BodyPartz’ star’s death raises questions appeared first on HUM News.",
