[fu2]

Too bad his mother couldn't afford to bring his body back

An upcoming Dayton, Ohio actor who starred in Eminem’s hit movie 8 Mile has been found dead of an apparent suicide, AllHipHop.com has confirmed.



Actor De'Angelo Wilson, who starred as “DJ Iz” in 8 Mile, apparently hung himself on November 26, just one day before Thanksgiving.



According to police, Wilson, who also had a role in the hit movie Antwone Fisher, was found dead in the back room of a Los Angeles business, although it took police a week to locate his next of kin.



Once Wilson’s mother was contacted, she revealed that she didn’t have the funds to bring her deceased son’s body back to his native home of Dayton.



A group of his friends have stepped in - including the real Antwone Fisher, who befriended Wilson during the production of the movie Antwone Fisher.



Wilson’s most recent role was in 2006, when he starred as “Julius“ in Mercy Street.



He also had small roles in The Salon, CSI: NY, Outside Man and others.

De'angelo grew up in seven foster homes and dropped out of high school. No wonder it took time to find someone to claim the body.

IMDB does not have any acting gigs listed for him in years. A few bit parts a long time ago is not going to sustain anyone in Hollywood.

Flying a body cross country and burying it costs thousands of dollars. Its not surprising that no family member had that kind of ready cash flow. A very sad end to a very sad story.

Damn, bruh. You took the easy way out and left your family to suffer with that pain.

Rest In Peace
