On that day, Boudoin was found deceased, and his death has remained unsolved, classified as a cold case. The details of the incident remain limited, but Boudoin was last seen alive at the 2EXTREME4 Recording Studio located in San Bernardino.

eath, which adds a poignant dimension to the tragedy, given his aspirations in the music industry.
