Tay Keith's Cause Of Death Revealed

Tay Keith, born Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, was found dead inside his apartment in Nashville in June. Police discovered the artist's lifeless body after his girlfriend called 911 for a wellness check. The woman told the cops she got worried after he texted her to visit him and went radio silent for 24 hours afterward. She said she went to his home, knocked on the door, and called him repeatedly but never got a response. She also told the dispatcher that he had a history of high blood pressure and breathing issues. He was only 29 years old.

The Grammy-nominated artist spent a solid decade working with some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop. After blowing up with BlocBoy JB, Tay Keith went on to produce hits for Drake, Travis Scott, Beyoncé, Sexyy Red, and plenty more. Artists like Drake and Sexyy Red paid homage to him shortly after his death. Tay Keith also left behind a hefty estate but didn't establish a will before his death.
