Early reports are that he died of a heart attack while touring overseas.
Three Six had been working on a reunion album under the name Da Mafia 6ix. Arists in the new group included 5 of the original 6 members, Infamous, Paul, Boo, Crunchy Black and Koopsta Knicca. In November they released the mixtape, 6ix Commandments.
