The teenager kicked the bucket following an obvious drug overdose on June 13. According to his dad, "He was revived and brought to the ER where he’s been in a coma for 14 days." The grieving cinematographer added, "Never in a million years would I have imagined that it would end like this."
Ever since his son used to be admitted to the clinic, Erik has been sharing updates concerning the younger musician’s growth on Twitter.
"Today he is having another EEG test," the daddy of 3 wrote on June 17. "His liver is improving, however his kidneys are declining. He will be doing dialysis today to help improve his kidneys and give him more time. So that is our prayers and fight today."
On June 23, he published, "Jacob had a pretty good day today. Mostly restful but did have a dialysis treatment. He has had two good days in a row. He shed some tears and was blinking. [There] was a positive atmosphere today filled with stories, music, prayer, and laughter."
But just hours ahead of his son’s dying, Erik reported, "needing extra faithful prayers tonight for Jacob. It has been a rough day and he needed CPR earlier. Currently under significant sedation and meds for vital stability."
Jacob Tyler Thureson’s lifestyles "was not and will not be in vain."

A GoFundMe has since been set up to lend a hand the Thuresons pay for the rapper’s clinical expenses and funeral arrangements. So far, more than $9,000 has been contributed.
