Two years ago he was taken hostage and stabbed three times over a drugs debt. He had apparently been using his wealth from his music career to buy protection from the gangsters and OCGs in HMP Wakefield. Sounds like he ended up getting on the wrong side of the wrong people.

The BBC are reporting that two men, aged 43 and a 25, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. It looks like one held him down, whilst the other slashed his throat with a knife.
