Reports have surfaced on the net, indicating that world renowned hip-hop, ghetto tech and booty DJ and producer Disco D has tragically committed suicide. Though no official statement has been released as yet, many memorial comments have been posted on his official MySpace page (www.myspace.com/gringolouco).
Disco D – who, at 26 years old, has achieved more in his 10 year career than many would expect to achieve in a lifetime – had revealed in the past that he struggles with bipolar disorder, and had also attempted suicide several times. In an interview with the Montreal Mirror in March, 2006, Disco D remarked; “I’m bipolar, I tried to commit suicide twice, like, I’m not scared of anything, know what I’m sayin’?”
Stay tuned to ITM for updates when an official statement is released.

I have to ask.. where were his friends? People please look out for each other!! this could happen to any of your crew, especially if they are taking any chems. Bipolar is not a rare disorder.. neither is depression. If someone has already tried twice thats a clear indication to look out for them twice as much! He gave us much in life, may we take some lesson from his death also.
