Chris Kelly, of the 90's hip-hop group Kriss Kross, has died aged 34.
Police were called to Kelly's home at around 4.30pm local time on Wednesday, soon after he was taken to Atlanta Medical Centre.
Kelly - half of the rap duo famous for the hit song Jump was pronounced dead at 5pm.
As yet there is no official confirmation of the cause of death but Cpl Kay Lester, a spokeswoman for the Fulton County police said: 'It appears it may have been a possible drug overdose.'
An autopsy is due to be held on Thursday.

A joint statement released on Wednesday by So So Def and Kelly's mother, Donna Kelly Pratte, paid tribute to 'kind, generous and fun-loving' star.
'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 trend-setting, backward 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.'
Atlanta radio host DJ Greg Street shared the news with listeners after receiving the devastating news from Kelly's cousin.
