PNB Rock’s Body To Be Released After Conflict With His Family Over Religious Burial

LOS ANGELES- Rapper PNB Rock’s body is set to be released to his family after a conflict over his burial.

An autopsy was conducted on the rapper, and I wrote before, his death was ruled a homicide and according to the coroner, he died from being shot in his chest and back.

The rapper’s mother flew to Los Angeles to identify and claim his body. She agreed on the autopsy and wanted his body to be released as soon as possible because Islamic law requires burial to happen as quickly as possible after death.

The 30-year-old Philly rapper was shot and killed September 12 as he was eating at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles with his girlfriend.

Police believe that PNB may have been killed due to his girlfriend posting a photo of the location where they were eating.
