Baltimore’s DJ K-Swift Dead at 29

I’ve seen quite a few hits to the site today regarding DJ K-Swift and just wanted to clear a few things up.  First of all, the DJ K-Swift that we have featured on more than one occasion  on this site IS NOT the same person.  The DJ K-Swift, who we have featured previously, is the Blends King out of the Bronx, NY.  I am happy to report that he is doing fine.On the same note, I would like to express my sincere condolences to those affected by the tragic death of DJ Khia “K-Swift” Edgerton.  Here is an excerpt from the Baltimore Sun regarding the details.

Khia “K-Swift” Edgerton, one of the city’s most popular radio DJs and performers, died early Monday morning after a pool accident at her home. She was 29.

The cause of death was unclear, but an autopsy was planned.

According to a preliminary police investigation, Edgerton, who lived in the 4300 block of Arizona Ave. in Northeast Baltimore, had been hosting a party at her house through Sunday evening and into early this morning. Police investigators believe she may have been drinking, said agent Donny Moses, a Baltimore Police Department spokesman..

During the party early this morning, she jumped into her above-ground pool with several other people, but didn’t resurface. About six or seven other people were in the pool, which was about four or five-feet deep, during the time she had jumped in. After an unspecified period of time, her friends pulled her onto a metal-frame deck that adjoined the pool, and called 911.

When paramedics arrived, they discovered that Edgerton was breathing “very shallow and her pulse was weak,” Moses said. She was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where she was pronounced dead soon after her arrival.

R.I.P. K-Swift

Edit… it seems that my delivery of this news has offended some people because I chose to acknowledge NY’s DJ K-Swift. I do sincerely apologize to those people.  I’m not very good when it comes to this sort of news and though it is a tragedy, facts do need to be reported.  Also, NY’s DJ K-Swift has just announced that he will be changing the spelling of his name to K-Swyft out of respect to Ms. Edgerton.
