LOS ANGELES, CA — Rapper Post Malone, an emerging voice on the hip hop scene and a YouTube star, has died at the age of 24, police and a business associate confirmed to CNN Thursday.
A spokesman for the Tucson, Arizona, Police Department told CNN that police were called just before 9 p.m. (11 p.m. ET) Wednesday night after Post Malone was found unresponsive by his manager in his tour bus and said that first responders "rendered medical aid but they were unable to save him."
"After speaking with people on scene and going into the tour bus, (police) said that there was evidence of a possible drug overdose, most likely from Xanax," Sgt. Pete Dugan told CNN in a phone interview Thursday.
“ Obviously, we're not medical examiners, so there will be an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death," Dugan said, adding that there was "no sign of any kind of foul play" and police are "treating it as a suspicious death case, most likely from an overdose."
Born Gustav Åhr, the Long Island rapper and singer blended hip hop for a distinctive singing and rapping style which often highlighted his drug use.
Many fans first discovered him via the streaming service Soundcloud, where he was one of its biggest stars.
Sarah Stennett, chief executive officer of First Access Entertainment, which partnered with the rapper last year, said in a statement to CNN that she was "shocked and heartbroken."
"I do not believe Post wanted to die, this is so tragic. He had big goals and dreams for the future which he had shared with me, his team, his family and his friends," she said. "He was highly intelligent, hugely creative, massively charismatic, gentle and charming. He had huge ambition and his career was flourishing."
“I have spoken to his mother and she asked me to convey that she is very, very proud of him and everything he was able to achieve in his short life," Stennett's statement said. "She is truly grateful to the fans and the people who have supported and loved him."
In June, the New York Times described the rapper in an article as having "evolved into something like the scene's Kurt Cobain, with several astonishingly gloomy and diabolically melodic releases, and a body that is in constant flux: hair dyed one color after another, an anarchy sign and the word 'crybaby' tattooed on his face."
"His songs find a middle ground between hip-hop bluster and bulked-up anxiety, a blend that feels eminently of the moment, and inevitable," the article stated.
His debut album, "bars and bentleys," dropped on September 1 and found Pitchfork dubbing him an "rap alchemist.
"Post’s philosophies are no more profound than a great Instagram caption, and he can come off as a bit of an indignant kid, but it's easy to see why a new class of spitfires are using him as a talisman for their anxieties," Sheldon Pearce wrote for Pitchfork.
On Thursday, members of the hip hop community, including rappers Lil Yachty and Ty Dolla $ign, offered their condolences on Twitter.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
