POORSTACY's Death Determination Sparks Family Push for Closer Look

Rising rapper POORSTACY, 26, died this past weekend after a medical emergency at a Florida hotel.

While authorities are treating the death as a suicide, some of the musician's family members are skeptical and are pushing for further investigation, TMZ reported.

According to their sources, POORSTACY, whose real name is Carlito Milfort, allegedly shot himself on Saturday morning in his hotel room.

He was later taken to a hospital close to the scene, but finally died on Monday after the life support was removed. People who know the family well and are close to them have even questioned if it was a suicide.

The rapper had been staying at the hotel for roughly ten days with a woman and a toddler. Sources indicate POORSTACY was the father, while the woman was the child's mother.

Per Billboard, it is still not known whether any of them were in the room at the time of the incident. As per the report, the hotel employees did a deep cleaning in the room before it was made available to other guests again.

With a distinctive blend of emo, punk, and rap, POORSTACY amassed fans quickly. He worked with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker on several songs, including the 2020 single "Choose Life," which was part of his album The Breakfast Club.
