The Cause of Death of TobyMac’s Son Truett Was Confirmed an Accidental Drug Overdose
According to a rep for the family, TobyMac’s son Truett, his oldest son, died of cardiac arrest in the family’s Tennessee home on October 23rd, 2019 after consuming a fatal mix of fentanyl and amphetamines.
Following in the footsteps of his father, McKeehan was an aspiring rapper who released music under the names Shiloh, TRU, and Truett Foster. The ambitious youngster even collaborated with his dad on several tracks. Upon Truett’s move out of the home to pursue his dreams, TobyMac wrote the song “Scars” about the transition.
“He moved to L.A. and he’s making music and he’s doing his thing,” TobyMac told The Tennessean. “But to watch him go through that, and watch him get bruised, it’s not easy. So that’s one of the ways life has changed. In that song, I just want him to know he’s not alone.”
