During the wee hours of Sunday morning, Prodigy, one half of the duo Mobb Deep, was wheeled out of an after-party on a gurney before he died on Tuesday.

After Prodigy arrived at The Mirage for the after-party later on Saturday night, he started to feel bad, so much so that around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, concerned people around him called for medical assistance, and he was put on a gurney and wheeled out of the party.

Earlier on Saturday, Prodigy had canceled a concert with fans because he was not feeling good.

Prodigy died on Tuesday morning, though the cause of death has not yet been determined.
