An upcoming Dayton, Ohio actor who starred in Eminem’s hit movie 8 Mile has been found dead of an apparent suicide, AllHipHop.com has confirmed.

 

Actor De'Angelo Wilson, who starred as “DJ Iz” in 8 Mile, apparently hung himself on November 26, just one day before Thanksgiving.

 

According to police, Wilson, who also had a role in the hit movie Antwone Fisher, was found dead in the back room of a Los Angeles business, although it took police a week to locate his next of kin.

 

Once Wilson’s mother was contacted, she revealed that she didn’t have the funds to bring her deceased son’s body back to his native home of Dayton.

 

A group of his friends have stepped in - including the real Antwone Fisher, who befriended Wilson during the production of the movie Antwone Fisher.

 

Wilson’s most recent role was in 2006, when he starred as “Julius“ in Mercy Street.

 

He also had small roles in The Salon, CSI: NY, Outside Man and others.

DJ Iz?!  Was he the character who was a fake friend to Eminem's character in 8 Mile?  I'm referring to the one who did Rabbit's girl.  Or some other character?
