Brooklyn rapper, Michael Garrett, has died reportedly following an overdose of synthetic marijuana. I guess you can take too much of the stuff after all….

Garrett, the co-leader of a Brooklyn gang called Together Forever Mafia, was convicted of racketeering, murder, sex trafficking of underage prostitutes, and drug trafficking last year. His music videos were pretty much evidence to convict Garrett to a possible life sentence without parole, but ultimately died awaiting sentencing.
According to the Daily News:
“A spokeswoman for the city medical examiner said Garrett’s death has been classified as “accidental,” due to cardiovascular disease with a contributing factor of an overdose of synthetic marijuana.
“I’m incredulous,” said Garrett’s former lawyer James Lisa after the Daily News informed him Friday of the autopsy results. “He was in federal custody. That’s not like Rikers Island or a county facility.”
Obviously it’s extremely hard to get drugs into prison, (not like you see on Orange Is The New Black), so the overdose has left many skeptical. In fact, the prison he was in is so highly guarded it’s supposed to be housing El Chapo since he was just extradited to the US.
