Lil Peep's death investigations continued since the rapper's estate filed the wrongful death lawsuit in 2019. Lawyers of Lil Peep's mother, Liza Womack, have unraveled evidence that puts them into a more favorable spot.

Liza Womack, Lil Peep's mother, who is also the estate administrator, filed a wrongful death suit last October 2019 against tour organizers for the death of his son in 2017.

Currently, the estate finds "inculpatory" evidence that points to the management.

'Inculpatory evidence'

A report (via Pitchfork) have unraveled a 372-page document filed by Womack's lawyers seeking to incriminate First Access Entertainment of its tour management for Lil Peep.

Multiple pages of documents (including messages) were sealed last October after attorneys for both FAE (Peep's management agency), and tour manager Belinda Mercer requested it as such.

In an interview with Pitchfork, Paul Matiasic, an attorney for the Womack, stated that "the vigor with which FAE and Mercer fought to shield this information from public record speaks volumes as to the inculpatory nature of these text messages."

Womack's lawyer pushed back in response to the requested sealing, as the information would surely put FAE and Mercer into an incriminating position.

The lawyer claimed that the documents that FAE and Mercer wanted to seal would help "tell a larger story" of the "the drug-infected mismanagement" which the estate believed "led to [Peep's] death."

More about the text messages

Last month, the judge determined that the documents in question do not require sealing. The documents were now instead made public to paint a larger picture of the scope of the death lawsuit.

As it was made public, other names were revealed to have been related or crucial to the operation of Peep's music career.

With messages dating back to September 2017, when Peep began his final tour, it led to the day when Peep was found dead on the tour bus from an accidental drug overdose.

More than that, the texts-joined among the reported evidence by deposition excerpts and other materials-are argued by Womack's attorneys to demonstrate that the US leg of the tour was "mishandled" by both FAE and Mercer.

The estate claims that FAE and Mercer served as the "tour drug dealer" in a manner that contributed to the tragic death of the 21-year-old musician.

"What these documents mostly contain are exchanges that reveal FAE tour management as dangerous, discordant, inept, and engaged in conduct that contributed to [Peep] 's death," Womack's lawyers have contended."
