POORSTACY Cause of Death: What Authorities Have Said, the Timeline, and What Happens Next

Rapper POORSTACY (born Carlito Junior Milfort, Jr.) died at 26 after an “incident” in Boca Raton, Florida on Saturday, November 29, 2025. As of today, the official cause of death has not been released. The case remains with local authorities and the medical examiner, and updates are expected once postmortem testing is complete.

What we know so far about POORSTACY’s death

• Location and response: First responders were called to a Boca Raton hotel for a medical emergency. POORSTACY was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

• “Incident” language: Police have described the circumstances as stemming from an incident at the hotel. No public agency has detailed that incident, and no arrests connected to his death have been announced.

• Status of the case: The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner is handling the autopsy and toxicology. No cause or manner of death (e.g., accident, natural, suicide, homicide) has been certified publicly.

Timeline: final week and hospitalization

Authorities and hotel records reviewed in recent updates indicate POORSTACY had been staying at the hotel for roughly 10 days leading up to the emergency call. He was alive on arrival at the hospital and died afterward; there is no official confirmation that he remained hospitalized for an extended period prior to his passing, and differing reports on that point have not been resolved publicly. Until the medical examiner issues findings, the precise sequence and medical cause remain unverified.

Why there’s no official cause of death yet

In sudden or unexplained deaths, examiners typically wait for toxicology and ancillary studies, which can take several weeks. Only after those results—and any follow-up analyses—will officials certify the cause (the medical reason) and manner (the category, such as accident or natural). Until then, rumors should be treated as unconfirmed. If investigators determine that additional information could affect public safety or involve criminal conduct, they can release details sooner; otherwise, privacy and case integrity guide what is shared.

Tributes and career overview

POORSTACY emerged from South Florida’s genre-blending scene, fusing emo rap, punk, hip-hop, and heavy guitar tones. The discography includes two studio albums—The Breakfast Club and Party at the Cemetery—plus EPs and a string of singles and collaborations. He built touring traction with high-energy sets and a dark, cinematic aesthetic that translated across festival and club stages. In the hours after news of his death, collaborators and fans posted memorial messages and performance clips, reflecting on his production ear, stage presence, and the community that grew around his music.

What to expect next

• Medical examiner’s certification: An official cause and manner of death once testing concludes.

• Family statement and arrangements: Families often share funeral or memorial details after the medical findings are finalized.

• Estate and catalog: Expect music rights and unreleased material questions to surface; any decisions typically come from the estate.

• Public safety note: Authorities have not indicated any ongoing threat to the public tied to the hotel incident.

Sensitive-topic reminder

Some online posts speculate about self-harm. No official determination supports that at this time. If the final ruling addresses a mental-health-related cause, coverage will reflect that with care. If you or someone you know needs support, help is available through your local crisis resources.
