After being found unresponsive in his home Wednesday afternoon, Chris Kelly was rushed to the Atlanta Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead. An autopsy will be conducted Thursday morning regarding the cause of death.
Chris Kelly recently performed alongside Chris Smith, as Kriss Kross one last time, at the So So Def 20th Anniversary All-Star Concert this past February.
As more details are released, The Source will keep you updated. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris Kelly’s family and friends. Rest in power.
UPDATE:
An official statement was issued by So So Def and Chris Kelly’s mother,
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris – the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”
