UPDATE:
A local paper in Illinois has some details on Slick’s death, including the news that he had been reported missing this afternoon, and the police found him unconscious in a bathroom on the 100 block of West Jackson in Chicago. He was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital, according to the Daily Herald:
The 26-year-old from Scottsdale was staying in Rosemont for a convention, officials said, and he was reported missing at 2:29 p.m. Saturday. He had been last seen about 1 a.m. Friday in Chicago while out with a friend; the last time he had phone contact with someone was at about 8 a.m. Friday, police said.

He was taken to Rush University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
UPDATE 2:
The Chicago Sun Times has also published a story on Slick’s death, and it clarifies the timeline of when he was reported missing, and when his body was found by police. Slick was found unconscious in a Qdoba restaurant bathroom on Friday morning, and he was pronounced dead less than 15 minutes later. But, Slick’s friends didn’t learn of his death until after they reported him missing on Saturday, once investigators contacted the medical examiner’s office.
