Rapper Lil Dirk's brother has been found dead, officials have confirmed, but the cause of death is unclear.
TMZ, citing Cook County officials, reported that the body of OTF Dithang, whose real name was Deontay Banks Jr., was discovered in Chicago over the weekend.
He was 32 years old.
According to TMZ, unconfirmed reports say reference witnesses say Banks, who was also a rapper, was outside a club when he was shot in the head.
However, officials have not released such details and reportedly an autopsy still needs to be done.
Lil Dirk, 28, is the producer of Only the Family record label, and is best known for songs such as "Still Trappin'" and "Should Have Ducked".
He did not say anything publicly about the news of his elder brother's death. His latest post on social media was shared on Saturday night.
Lil Dirk, whose real name is Dirk Derrick Banks, is from Chicago, and has worked with other big-name hip hop artists including Future, Kevin Gates, and A Boogie Wit the Hoodie.
Rapper King Vaughn, who collaborated with Lil Dirk and was signed to his label, died in a shooting last November at the age of 26.
