I went back through the public timeline and found that the official medical examiner report listing the cause of death for Jahseh Onfroy (XXXTentacion) was made public on June 20, 2018. He was shot on June 18, 2018, and the Broward County Medical Examiner’s report that circulated a couple days later stated the manner as 'homicide' and the cause as multiple gunshot wounds. That short gap between the shooting and the autopsy release is what most news outlets quoted when they first covered the medical findings.
The aftermath didn’t stop there — police reports, arrest affidavits and charging documents trickled out in the subsequent weeks and months as the investigation progressed and suspects were identified and charged. Those investigative records weren’t all released at once; many were disclosed as part of court filings or press briefings, so the public record broadened over time beyond the initial ME report. For me, this timeline always felt jarring: two days from the fatal shooting to a clear medical ruling, then a long, messy legal process that unfolded publicly.
I still find the dates chilling to revisit because they compress a lot of grief, rumor, and legal maneuvering into a small span on the calendar. Seeing June 20, 2018 attached to the medical examiner's finding sticks with me every time I think about how quickly facts can become news and how slowly justice sometimes moves.
I checked the official sources and the most commonly cited publication date for the medical findings is June 20, 2018. After XXXTentacion was shot on June 18, the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office released a report that identified the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and classified the manner as homicide. Major outlets picked up that autopsy release and reported the same details within a day or two.
What’s important to note is that 'published' can mean a couple different things in this case. The medical examiner’s report was released to the press and posted publicly around June 20, but other documents related to the investigation — police reports, arrest affidavits, and charging papers — were released incrementally as arrests and indictments happened later in 2018 and into 2019. So the concrete medical cause was published quickly, while the broader case record came out in pieces.
From a factual standpoint, if you’re citing the official cause of death, reference the Broward County Medical Examiner entry dated June 20, 2018. Personally, I found it unsettling how rapidly some details were confirmed yet how many questions lingered in the court and community conversations that followed.
I went straight to the public records and the medical examiner’s entry showing the cause of death for XXXTentacion was issued on June 20, 2018, two days after he was killed on June 18. That report bluntly listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause and labeled the death a homicide. After that immediate release, the investigative paperwork—police narratives, arrest reports and charging documents—appeared over the next weeks and months as the case developed and suspects were charged. The distinction matters because the medical facts were available quickly, but the fuller legal picture arrived slowly and in fragments. Even now, seeing that June 20 date pulls me back to how sudden the loss was and how public the aftermath became.

My Death Was Known Three Years Later

Three years after I died, my mother sent me twenty dollars for living expenses.
Three years before that—the first time I ever asked my family for money—she said to me, offhand, "Sometimes I think you're just putting on an act. What's so unsanitary about a thirty-cent boxed meal? And why can't you wear a five-dollar down jacket? Face it, you're just more high-maintenance than your little brother."
Later, when I needed twenty dollars to buy some cheap medicine for my stomachache, she blocked me immediately and cut off all contact—along with every relative we had.
"Don't contact me anymore. I'm clearly not a good mother. I can't afford to give my son a life of luxury."
But for my younger brother, who had just started high school, she spared no expense—renting him a three-bedroom apartment. Even the family dog got its own room.
In the end, on the day my brother became the top scorer in the state, she finally remembered me. She took me off her block list and transferred twenty dollars.
"It's only twenty dollars. Was it really worth giving your family the silent treatment for three whole years?"
What she never knew was this—
On the night my stomach ruptured, three years ago, I had already died. I couldn't afford to go to the hospital. I froze to death in the snow.
The Day I Died, My Boyfriend Was With Another Woman

On the day I died, my boyfriend was with another woman.
He was a man I had rescued from the clutches of rich women.
My condition was for him to be my boyfriend for three years, and he agreed.
I showered him with money, resources, and connections, single-handedly making him famous.
Yet, while he told me we could not date publicly, he casually engaged in fake romance rumors with others for publicity.
One of his rumored girlfriends even came to me with a voice message.
"If it weren’t for using her as a stepping stone, who would bother with someone so dull and boring?"
But after I died, why did he go mad?
The day after Sean Ford proposed to Nikki Sanders, he dumped her.
“Vivian is pregnant,” he had told her flatly. “I have to take responsibility.”
Nikki slit her wrists, filling the entire bathtub with blood.
When told the news, he sounded like he couldn’t care less.
“If she wants to die, let her.”
Four years later, they met again.
She was an ER doctor who had buried herself in work.
He was the youngest captain in Air Costina’s history.
But when it came to Nikki, every bit of his pride was gone.
Every time she tried to start over, Sean found his way back into her life.
He was falling apart over the woman he had once let go.
Meanwhile, Nikki wanted nothing more than to kick him out of her life for good.
“Get lost. You’ve got a wife and kid, so stop pretending you still care about me.”
The usually calm and collected Sean finally snapped.
“We never got married. We never even got a marriage license. Just look at the paternity test.”
Piece by piece, the truth about what happened back then came to light.
“So what?” Nikki said coldly. “To me, an ex is as good as dead.”
“Then let me start over. Let me win you back.”
“Get in line.”
After Roman Archer and I broke up, he devoted himself to academic research. He had finally become successful.
During a television interview, he looked just as confident and high-spirited as he had been back then.
The host asked whom he most wanted to share this news with. After a brief silence, he called me.
“Celeste, thank you for leaving me. My career is thriving now.”
I smiled. “Congratulations, Mr. Roman.”
He would never know that if I had not left, he would have died.

On my birthday, Connor Simpson's first love jumped off a building due to depression. She died on the spot.
Connor blamed everything on me. I never celebrated my birthday again after she died.
After the murderer electrocuted me for more than ten hours, they forced me to call Connor. "Connor, it's my 25th birthday today. Can you come over and spend time with me?"
However, Connor did not notice anything unusual. His voice was laced with venomous iciness. "Clarisse Winter, Audrey wouldn't have died if it weren't for you. How dare you ask me to celebrate your birthday? If only you were the one who died."
I heard him coaxing a woman on the other end just before he hung up on me. That low and gentle tone was what I loved to hear the most in the past.
That night, the murderer cut my body into countless pieces, packed them in bags, and threw them in front of the police station. Connor was summoned back overnight.
He spent two days and two nights piecing together the body parts, but he did not realize that the dead person was the wife that he hated the most.
I've dug into this before and put together what actually exists in public records: the official cause of death for Jahseh Onfroy (XXXTentacion) is listed as homicide by multiple gunshot wounds, which appears on the autopsy report completed by the local medical examiner. If you want the actual files, start with the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office — that's the agency that performs autopsies for Deerfield Beach cases. Their public records office will either have the written autopsy report available for release or will tell you what portions are withheld (photos and raw images are often treated differently and can be denied or require a court order).
If you prefer police reports and investigative materials, those are typically held by the law-enforcement agency that investigated the scene — in this case the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Deerfield Beach Police Department handled various parts of the investigation. Under Florida's public-records law (the Sunshine Law), many documents are requestable: police reports, incident logs, redacted body-cam or dash-cam files, and court filings. Practical steps I used: check the medical examiner's website first for posted reports, then file a formal public records request by email or web form to the Medical Examiner and to the Sheriff's Office Records Division. You can also search the Broward County Clerk of Courts online portal for docket entries and motions related to the criminal cases; those often quote or include excerpts of the cause-of-death language.
Expect a short wait and potential fees for copies; photos and certain forensic exhibits may be withheld for privacy or evidentiary reasons unless a judge orders disclosure. I found the process a bit bureaucratic but ultimately straightforward — patience pays off, and reading the raw report gives a sobering, factual perspective compared to media summaries.
I dug through the old reports after the initial headlines faded and tracked where the official paperwork actually came from. The documents that directly state XXXTentacion’s cause of death — the autopsy and the medical examiner’s findings — were released by the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office. Their autopsy ruled the death a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds, and the toxicology findings and coroner’s notes accompanied that report when it became public. That’s the formal medical side of things, the objective record of how he died.
On the law-enforcement side, the Deerfield Beach Police Department and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation and later released investigative documents like arrest affidavits, police reports, and charging documents. Some of those files were redacted before being shared publicly because of ongoing legal matters and privacy concerns, but news outlets and local records portals published what they could. Watching both kinds of documents — medical examiner reports and police filings — together gives you the fullest picture of what officials concluded at the time.
Reading it all again feels heavy; these are official papers that moved a lot of people, from prosecutors to fans. For me, the mix of clinical language in the autopsy and the human stories in police reports underscored how sudden and tragic it was. It’s a sober record, and I still find myself thinking about how the documents shaped the public conversation back then.
I remember the release of 'XXXTentacion' by Jonathan Reiss quite vividly. The book was published by Simon & Schuster and hit the shelves on June 16, 2020. It delves into the controversial yet impactful life of the late rapper, exploring his rise to fame, personal struggles, and the legacy he left behind.
The book offers a raw, unfiltered look at XXXTentacion's journey, from his early days in Florida to becoming a global phenomenon. It's a must-read for fans and critics alike, as it provides context to his music and the cultural shifts he influenced. The timing of its release, just before the anniversary of his passing, made it even more poignant for his fanbase.
