Chicago Fire Spokesman Lawrence Langford told RadarOnline.com, “Chicago Fire found him in cardiac arrest and treated him according to protocol. We are called to a private terminal at Midway to a private flight.”
Higgins previously opened up in an interview about his struggle with drugs.
“I ran into some percocets my freshman year,” Higgins revealed in a 2018 interview on Hot 107.9. "N***as is hitting my phone like, 'where you get all them percs from, them xans.’ Hearing that music at such a young age, n***a I was trying to sip lean in sixth grade listening to Dirty Sprite, one and true story,” he continued. “So it’s like, it’s the people that doing that s**t ’cause they like getting high and they going through stuff and they like addicted. And then it’s the people who do it for trends and for the people that’s really in the s**t, it’s not as easy as seeing somebody die.”
