Three 6 Mafia's Lord Infamous Dies at Age 40

Sad news from Three 6 Mafia reach to us today. Founding member Ricky “Lord Infamous” Dunigan was found dead in his mother’s Memphis, Tennessee home on Friday night. He was 40 years old. Back in 2010 Infamous suffered a heart attack and a stroke but it is not clear at the moment if his previous health issues contributed to his death.

Current and former members of the group and Hypnotize Mindz familia shared their feelings via social media. Three 6 member Juicy J tweeted on Saturday afternoon, “Rest in Peace Lord Infamous please respect the family and dear friends during this tragedy.” Gangsta Boo said on the social networking site: “I will never forget the shows we rocked together . My heart is in pieces.”

Three 6 Mafia released 6ix Commandments mixtape earlier this year. Our prayers go to his family and friends.
