A budding Florida rapper’s career was cut short Saturday when he died in a freak accident during what police say was an attempted home robbery.

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Taz UFO (born Jonathan Hernandez-Zuluaga) was trying to break into a home in Lehigh Acres and was killed in the process.

Authorities say a window the singer was climbing into fatally slammed down on him. - ADVERTISEMENT -

“It unexpectedly closed on top of him, pinning him and keeping him suspended in air,” said LCSO spokesman Lt. Russell Park on Monday. “When deputies arrived, they found him deceased.”

According to local TV station WBBH-TV, the 32-year-old was dangling by his neck.

The father of five’s family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses. By Wednesday, the crowd fundraiser had reached $348 of its $5,000 goal.

“He was destined to be GREAT, beyond great at that, I know his close friends will ensure his music lives on,” wrote his wife, Patricia Duarte. “All he wanted in life was to make it with his music so his kids didn’t ever have to worry.”

Duarte is also reportedly pushing for an investigation into the Spotify artist’s death.

That might get cremation on some homeboy backyard grilz.

Fetal. Alcohol. Syndrome.

Look at the uneven eyelids.

"I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she put the kid away and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid that’ll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool"

A budding rapper’s career was cut short Saturday when he died. Looks like being a budding rapper is a damn dangerous profession.

The criminal’s family will sue for the unsafe conditions at the house that led to the thief’s death.

LAWYER: This Window caused harm.
JURY: We see right through that argument.

“He was destined to be GREAT, beyond great at that, I know...his music lives on,”


The world has lost a musical genius, there is no doubt of that. Wasn’t that good at breaking into homes...

Yep but with the influx of refugees from liberal hellholes it may just pickup during the next 5-10 years. As I understand it there are 1000 people a day moving here.

This and the idiots who shot each other with rubber bullets a couple of days ago. Is there a rush to get Darwin Award nominations in before the new year?
