(CNN) — Texas rapper Lil Loaded, 20, has died, his attorney Ashkan Mehryari told CNN.
“Sadly, I can confirm Mr. Robertson passed away as a result of a reported suicide,” Mehryari wrote in an email to CNN on Tuesday.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office did not yet have a cause or manner of death when contacted by CNN.

“While pending charges as serious as Mr. Robertson’s can be exceedingly stressful, and it certainly may have contributed to this tragic outcome, I believe he was in a good place mentally with regard to the charges and our upcoming court date,” Mehryari said, adding Robertson’s death came as a “complete shock.”
Robertson’s song ‘6Locc 6A6y’ was certified gold just last week by the Recording Industry Association of America.
