According to the Jamaica Observer, Jahazeil, Myrie’s brother, revealed his passing to the outlet on Monday, April 1.
“Yes it is true,” Jahazeil explained. “It is not my thing to say, it is not my job personally to give out any personal information about Miles, my father is the one who should share any details, but Miles is an hortical [genuine] yute, his soul was clean, so I had to say something.”
