Young Scooter's death has been ruled an accident by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. Discussing their findings on Tuesday, the medical examiner said: “This injury was not a gunshot wound." Instead, the report suggests the 39-year-old rapper died after a wooden piece punctured his right thigh, leading to blood loss. The determination matches up with comments police made after the chase that led to Scooter's death.
Atlanta Police Commander Lt. Andrew Smith first detailed the incident in a press conference after Young Scooter death. Similarly, he claimed the rapper suffered a serious leg injury while fleeing from police officers responding to a 911 call. He also noted that officers did not fire any shots. "During the process of establishing the perimeter, two males fled out of the rear of the house. One male returned back into the house. The other male jumped two fences as he was fleeing. When officers located him on the other side of the fence, he appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg," he said.
Police are still trying to figure out who made the 911 call that sent officers to the home that Young Scooter ended up fleeing in the first place. The caller had identified herself as the “neighborhood watch" and claimed there had been shots fired as well as a "whole domestic dispute going on." She alleged: "There’s like seven guys that live in this house… these guys are like selling drugs in and out of the house… The situation that’s going on right now, this girl doesn’t have on any clothes — they threw her outside [and] he was fighting the girl… I’m not sure what they were fighting over…”
As questions remain without answers, Young Scooter's publicist, Abesi Manyando, said on Monday that the family is left “completely devastated.” According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, they're waiting for “more information to understand the circumstances.”

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
