More details have emerged about hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty’s death. Sources tell the New York Daily News that his apparent suicide -- Thursday morning in The Bronx, New York -- came at the end of a “wild” fight between Lighty and his estranged wife Veronica, and that when it was over he declared, “I’m tired of this.”
The argument began as Lighty began to fill up a moving truck outside the couple’s home. With his 17-year-old son and five-year-old daughter waiting out the argument in a park across the street, Lighty allegedly stepped outside around 11:30am and shot himself in the head.
Sources say that Lighty’s wife told police that he owed over $5 million to the IRS. The Associated Press reports that Lighty had paid off most of his debt by selling his Manhattan apartment for $5.6 million in October, but he still owed more than $330,000 in state and federal taxes. And in April, he was sued by City National Bank after he had overdrawn his account by $53,584.
In addition to the two children who were home at the time of his death, Lighty is survived by three other children.
