From People:
On Friday, Feb. 6, the Milton Police Department released a statement on social media announcing that a body, which they believe to be the rapper’s 27-year-old son Nathan Smith, was recovered from a pond.
In the statement, the police department wrote that after Smith went missing on Tuesday, Feb. 3, officers determined that he “had left his residence under unusual circumstances” and search efforts began.
“After being unable to locate Mr. Smith during that time, teams expanded the search to include a pond in Mayfield Park near Smith’s Milton residence,” the statement read. “On February 6, 2026, at approximately 11:53 a.m., divers with the Cherokee County Fire Department located and recovered a body from the pond. The individual is believed to be Nathan Smith, pending official confirmation by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.”
“Based on the investigation to date, there is no indication of foul play,” the department continued. “However, the Milton Police Department Criminal Investigations Division will continue to treat this as an open and active investigation. No further details will be released until the official cause and manner of death are determined by the Fulton County Medical Examiner and all investigative leads have been thoroughly examined.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the Smith family during this difficult time. The department respectfully asks the community and members of the media to honor the family’s request for privacy as they grieve and navigate this tragedy.”
