Tupac Shakur has passed away. The Death Row Records rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7, 1996, while attending a boxing event between Bruce Seldon and Mike Tyson. He died before his fifth album was released.
Tupac was hit by four bullets before being brought to the hospital: two in the chest, one in the arm, and one in the thigh. Tupac died of respiratory failure that led to cardiac arrest despite spending six days in the University of Southern Nevada Medical Center’s critical care unit. After that, his body was burned.
Several conspiracy theories have surfaced claiming that Tupac Shakur is still alive. Those who believe in the conspiracy point to lyrics in his song in which he allegedly hinted at faking his own death.
