Jon James McMurray’s Plane Stunt Gone Wrong

Apparently, from what his management team has revealed, the Canadian rapper was all set to film a scene for a music video by rapping on the wing of a plane. And this was something that Jon James McMurray intensively trained for. But even then, it did not go as well as they had imagined. As soon as the rapper was out further on the wing, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral. And the pilot was unable to correct it. Jon held onto the wing until it was too late. And when he finally let go, he did not have enough time to open his parachute. The Canadian rapper was impacted and died immediately. The rest of the plane landed safely on the ground. In a farmer’s field in Westworld, the rapper’s body was discovered in a crater.

The management team of Jon James McMurray revealed his long passion for stunts. The Canadian rapper grew up in Calgary skiing till he suffered from a back injury.
