Canadian rapper Jon James McMurray is confirmed to have passed away after attempting a stunt while filming a music video this past Saturday.
As Billboard reports, the 33-year-old artist, who had trained "intensively" for the stunt, fell to his death in British Columbia while rapping on the wing of a moving plane.
"... As Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn't correct," a statement by McMurray's management reads.
"Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn't have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly.
"Jon was an incredibly passionate person and was always smiling. He filled everyone around him with positivity, and never spoke poorly about another person. He truly had a heart of gold."
The plane reportedly landed safely without any other incident.
Previous music videos from McMurray see the rapper perform a number of his own stunts, including base jumping and skydiving and parkour.
