More information is emerging about Young Scooter’s untimely passing.
After the Atlanta rapper (real name Kenneth Edward Bailey) died on his 39th birthday March 28, a Fulton County medical examiner’s press report has listed his cause of death as “penetrating injury of the right thigh,” ruling the manner of death as accidental.
The report, released online April 1, added, “Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss. This injury was not a gunshot wound. Mr. Bailey injured himself on organic (wooden) fencing material and/or woody debris after vaulting at least one fence.”
During a press conference, Atlanta Police Department Lt. Andrew Smith shared additional information about the incident—though at the time, did not identify Young Scooter by name—confirmed a 39-year-old died after suffering a leg injury while fleeing the scene where police had responded to a dispute involving a weapon.
“It was advised in the call remarks that shots were fired and a female was dragged back into the location,” he said. “Once officers arrived, they knocked on the door. A male opened the door and immediately shut the door on the officers.”
