According to the incident’s only witness, “All of a sudden [the stingray] propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail. Hundreds of strikes in a few seconds”. The stingray’s barb pierced his heart, causing him to bleed to death. Crew members aboard the boat administered CPR and rushed him to shore but the medical staff pronounced him dead at the scene.

Just about everyone knows the story and while many speculate that Tupac is still alive, it’s really not likely. In September 1996, after leaving a boxing match with former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, the rapper and his bodyguards got into a scuffle with a Crips gang member.

Carroll, a police officer who worked with the city’s bike patrol unit, had been watching the same fight, but was not aware of the brawl taking place in the lobby. Carroll revealed Tupac’s last words and they’re not exactly eloquent, “He looked at me, and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened his mouth, and then the words came out: ‘F**k you.'”
