Update (3:59 PM CST): Our homie Big Ian found a news story that tells exactly what happened to TNT. He wasn’t wearing a seat belt when he ran into a parked van in Las Vegas this morning. Here’s the story from MyNews3.com:
Coroner identifies man killed when car hits a parked van
LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3.com) — A man not wearing a seat belt was killed early today when his Cadillac hit a parked conversion van in the south end of the valley.
The man has ben identified as Las Vegas resident Terry William Jones, 41. His official cause and manner of death are pending an autopsy.
Metro said Jones was driving a 2003 Cadillac DeVille east on East Richmar Avenue (near South Bermuda Road and East Silverado Ranch Boulevard) when he hit the rear end of a 2012 van that was parked near the south curb.
The accident report said the vehicles remained together as they slip to a stop and struck a light pole that then fell onto the Nissan.
Jones was transported to St. Rose Dominican’s Siena Campus, where he was pronounced dead.
The death was the 86th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
Original Story (2:17 PM CST): Juggalos, Juggalettes, and fans of the Wicked Shit…it’s with sadness that I have to report a loss of an underground icon. TNT (birth name Terry Jones) from the legendary group NATAS has passed away.
There are three sources that have posted about it that I would consider very reliable: Mastamind, Rude Boy, and Skitzo have all made individual posts about his untimely passing.
From Skitzo’s FB:
From Rude Boy’s FB:
From Mastamind’s FB:
As of right now, we do not have any further information on the cause of his death.
Our deepest condolences go out to TNT‘s friends, family, and fans. RIP to one of the pioneers of the wicked shit.

Drunkenmas[ter] who was featured on NATAS’ Ask Somebody Remix on instagram:
“RIP MY NIGGA TNT…
We toured together in the death row days… After our tour in 95′ we came home and worked on the dead flowers project.
I called him “worm”. Rest in peace bro. Damn.”
