Hip hop mogul Chris Lighty -- the longtime manager of 50 Cent, Diddy, Ja Rule, and Mariah Carey
-- was found dead this morning in NYC from what appears to be a
self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head ... law enforcement sources
tell TMZ.
According to law enforcement, 44-year-old Lighty's body
was found by police around 11:30 AM in the backyard of his Bronx
apartment. Lighty was pronounced dead on the scene, where a
semi-automatic firearm was recovered.
The death is being investigated as a possible suicide.
According to sources close to Lighty, the hip hop mogul had been in an argument with his ex-wife and shot himself in the head.
We're told the couple got divorced last year and Lighty hadn't been the same since.
