KRS-One's Son Commits [Apparent] Suicide

Dutch radio station Juize.fm is reporting that KRS-One's son Randy committed suicide.

I'm marking it rumor because I haven't found further coverage.  Let's hope it doesn't pass out of the rumor category.

Via Pay.

Update:
I'm not getting any real confirmation of this and may pull the item in just a bit.  I guess that really makes it a rumor but I thought the source was a bit stronger or I wouldn't have posted it.

Update 2:
The Megatron Don clarifies that this would be KRS-One's stepson.  Not sure where he got the news.

Temporary Takedown:
I'm taking this off the site but it should still be available at the individual url until some confirmation or denial appears.

It's Official.  Our condolences go out to friends and family:
Randy Hubbard Parker, KRS-One's Son, Dead At 23 In Apparent Suicide

No and I should probably pull it if I can't come up with anything else.

My apologies may well be due.

Time and time again, Psychiatry kills. Read between the lines: "...was suffering from 'severe depression'..." means he was diagnosed, probably by a Psychiatrist and was probably taking some sort of Psych drug.

Time to stop the rampant drugging and killing of our future.
