Last week The Outlawz rapper Young Noble passed away after taking his own life [click here if you missed that].
According to new reports Young Noble was battling with depression and money issues...
Tupac Shakur's protégé Young Noble died by suicide with a gunshot to the head on the morning of July 4 ... TMZ Hip Hop has confirmed. The Outlawz rapper's wife told police at the scene he had been battling significant depression.
According to police records, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Gwinnett County officers responded to a 911 call at 9 AM on Independence Day after someone claimed to have seen a man lying dead in the pool of a country club in Snellville, a distant suburb of Atlanta.
Police say they saw a man in tan cargo shorts and a black T-shirt sunken at the bottom of the pool with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the right side of his head.
Cops say there was a spent shell casing on the bottom of the pool located about a foot away from the body, as well as a small black Beretta Tomcat .32 pistol.
Young Noble's wife told officers she last spoke to Noble around 2 AM, when he told her he was "going to drive around to clear my head" ... but she says he never returned, and her calls went to voicemail.
She noted Young Noble used to work in the music industry, but things had taken a turn for the worse. Because of his mounting depression, she told officers she had actively been trying to get him help.
She said Young Noble usually watched over the kids while she went to work -- they have a child with autism who can't be left alone -- but when he didn't return, she decided to drop off the kids at a relative's house, and she later spotted his parked car.
Noble's daughters also confirmed their father was depressed and facing financial hardship.
He was also working as an advocate in the fight against diabetes up until his death. Young Noble's family has since started a GoFundMe account to cover expenses.
The 47-year-old is now the 5th Outlawz member, including Tupac, to pass away.

Depression is a horrible illness. May he rest in peace.
Folks, establish an emergency fund.
I thought that was a picture of Wendy Williams ex. I have depression also. Coming on Snitch each day dropping post keeps me busy along with gym 4/5 times a week.
RIP brother
Settig Up An 'Emergency Fund' Is Easier Said Than Dund. 12 eggs cost 6,7,8 Dollar$
Folks stay giving useless advice.
this is so sad
THOUGH I UNDERSTAND DEPRESSION & FEELING LIKE THERE'S NO HOPE-ESPECIALLY UNDER THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION-I JUST WISH HE HADN'T HAVE DONE WHAT'S SAID HAD BEEN DONE.
@11:10 Or at the very least, have life insurance. I could never willingly leave this earth knowing my family will struggle financially and have to start a go fund me just to bury me.
At 3:54 insurance companies do not pay policies for suicide
A music career that died in the early 200s, a family with children and one with autism that can't be left alone and add very few job prospects that will really cover the family's expenses. All a bad recipe and I get why he was depressed. It's sad he made that choice, but there aren't any real safety nets for folks who were famous once upon a time. I hope his family can get enough money to get him cremated and wisely invest any extra money they have left. His wife has a lot on her shoulders now. I hope her family is supportive.
Wow. He punked out on his wife. Her life will now be worse than his ever was.
