Tay Keith’s final day ended quietly inside his Nashville home—then a welfare check brought officers in, and the music world was left stunned.
The Grammy-nominated record producer. whose real name is Brytavious Chambers. was 29 when he was found dead at home on June 18. 2026. according to police. The announcement followed a moment that felt routine to fans on social media: Keith’s last Instagram post was collaborative. spotlighting singles connected to season 3 of Euphoria.
Keith was best known for his work across major hip-hop hits. He co-produced Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode. ” a track that earned him a Grammy nomination. and he co-produced Drake’s “Nonstop.” He also co-produced Eminem’s “Not Alike.” In 2023. his single “Pound Town 2” with Sexyy Red. featuring Nicki Minaj. became his first chart entry as a lead artist.
When people asked what happened, the details were stark: Keith was found dead in his Martin St apartment in Nashville, Tennessee.
“No foul play is suspected in the death of Brytavious Chambers, 29, also known as Grammy-nominated record producer Tay Keith,” the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department wrote in a public statement. “He was found dead in his Martin St apt this afternoon by officers performing a welfare check.”
The statement also said Keith’s death “is unclassified pending autopsy results.”
In the days before the news broke. the public record offered little to explain what may have led to his death. The account of his life in the weeks leading up to June 18, 2026 describes no obvious issues. At the time of publication, it also remained unclear whether Keith lived with any major health issues.
What fans do have is that final post—shared on Instagram as a collaboration with other record producers—spotlighting their singles featured in season 3 of Euphoria. The caption read: “Congratulations everybody for they continued consistency and success. ” adding. “We take what we have and continue to be trailblazers and examples of hard work. Shout out to the Memphis Producers.”.
The police update leaves the central question still unanswered. No foul play is suspected, but the death remains unclassified pending autopsy results. For now, the timeline is clear—the discovery happened on June 18, 2026 in a Nashville apartment—but the cause is still in the dark.

Unclassified pending autopsy… so like, they don’t know yet??
That welfare check thing is scary. I seen his page and thought he was just posting music collabs, nothing weird. Nashville always gets quiet and then BAM.
So he died at a Martin St apartment but they say no foul play suspected. I’m just confused why it would take them so long to say a cause? Like did he get sick or something from the studio sessions? People always jump to overdose but it’s never confirmed.
“Euphoria season 3” being in the last post is wild to me like he was still working and plugging stuff… but then he’s just gone. Also Tay Keith is Brytavious Chambers?? I didn’t even know that, I thought Tay was his real name. Feels like the police statement is purposely vague, like they’re trying not to say he was into some shady stuff. Idk, just sad.
