DJ Erick Morillo (Reel 2 Real) Passed Away!

DJ Erick Morillo passed away from an apparent suicide after he was charged with a sexual crime.

An entertainer who had a one-hit wonder was found dead in his home after a pending investigation into sexual predatory behavior.

Erick Morillo, a Colombian-American musician who was best known for his electro-dance hiit "I Like To Move" was found dead at his home in Miami Beach on Tuesday. The 49-year old entertainer was charged only a few weeks ago for a sexual assault charge.

Morillo was found dead after a 9-1-1 call was placed on Tuesday.

The circumstances surrounding the death remains unclear but the law says that there were no signs of foul play in the matter.

The Mad Stuntman was featured on the single.

Previously known as DJ Reel 2 Real, Morillo rose to fame in the 1990s with his house electro-dance single and it became a popular single in nightclubs and sporting events.

He went on to win the DJ Awards' Best House DJ and Best International DJ titles three times.

Morillo's family confirmed his passing to PEOPLE saying; "He was well-loved by his family and he had a lot to give."

Several fellow artists expressed sadness at the news of his passing on social media.

Morillo was arrested less than four weeks ago after he was charged with sexual battery after a rape kit allegedly came back positive with his DNA. He was to appear in court on Friday for the charges.

He had denied the allegations made against him by a fellow female DJ who claimed he raped her at his home in December 2019.

Police said that Morillo and the female DJ were hired to work at a private event. After the event was over, they went to his home to have drinks with another female. According to the police report, the victim claimed that Morillo "Made several advances towards her, some sexual in nature, but she refused all his attempts."

The victim said in the report that she took an Uber to his home and put on a bathing suit to go swimming when she got there she felt uncomfortable. After he made those advances, she changed back into the clothes. She told police that he apologized for the advances. He asked her to stay overnight.

She decided to stay and sleep in a room in his home. The victim woke up to find herself "nude on the bed" and Morillo was "standing on the side of the bed also nude." Following the alleged assault, the victim said that she was in pain and called 9-1-1 to report that she was raped.

DJ Erick Morillo was a popular DJ in Miami. He was also using his popularity to make women do his bidding.

She was taken to a local hospital to be treated and then issued a rape kit. The test came positive and had his DNA inside her.

Morillo was born in New York City to Colombian parents and moved to Florida in his teens.

UNDERSTAND THIS: RAPE IS RAPE!

RAPE IS NOT A PRIZE. IT'S NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT. IT'S A CRIMINAL ACT THAT COULD LAND YOU IN THE IRON COLLEGE FOR LIFE! IN SOME STATES AND SOME NATIONS IT COULD BE DEATH! YOU COULD BE LABELED A TIER IN OFFENDER U IF YOU ARE CONVICTED OF A SEXUAL CRIME!

IF A VICTIM DOESN'T WANT TO ENGAGE SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH THE PERSON BUT THE PERSON PRESSURES THE VICTIM FORCIBLY, IT'S RAPE!

IF THE VICTIM IS TOLD THAT THEIR LIVES COULD BE RUINED IN THE FORM OF JOB LOSS, PERSONAL EMBARRASSMENT, THREATS OF JAIL TIME OR DEATH, IT'S RAPE!

IF THE PERSON HAS A HISTORY OF BEING TOO HANDSY OR TOUCHY WITH PEOPLE AND OFTEN USES SEXUAL ADVANCES AND POPULARITY TO GAIN ACCESS WITH A VICTIM, IT'S RAPE!
