Proof that Tupac Shakur is dead to be presented at Keefe D’s murder trial as court attempts to debunk conspiracy theories

Some Tupac fans are convinced that the late rapper is still alive

Tupac Shakur's death is going to be proven in court in a bid to debunk any conspiracy theories surrounding the late rapper's murder.

Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996 at the age of 25 and, 27 years after his death, someone was arrested in connection to his murder.

That person is Duane 'Keffe D' Davis - a member of The South Side Compton Crips.

He was arrested last month, and is now waiting to stand trial.

Davis will next be in court on November 2, where he's expected to plead not guilty to one count of murder with a deadly weapon.

While it's clear that Shakur is dead and has been for almost three decades, some conspiracy theorists are convinced that he faked his own death.

One theory is that the 'California Love' rapper's bodyguard helped Shakur fake his death so he could hide in Cuba.

Elsewhere, Suge Knight's son has posted odd things to social media claiming Shakur is alive and living in Malaysia.

But the District Attorneys on Davis' case plans on debunking this to put the rumors to bed.

To do so, the Chief Deputy District Attorneys Marc DiGiacomo and Binu Palal will show the court gruesome pictures of Shakur's corpse and close up photos of his injuries.

They will also show medical reports filed after Shakur's autopsy, The US Sun reports.

"This case will start with the prosecutors serving up proof that Tupac is dead. Obviously, that is a key fact for the case, but will once and for all will end any suggestions of Tupac faking his death or being smuggled abroad," an insider told the publication.

They continued: "Certainly the jury will be shown disturbing photos of Tupac after his autopsy so that the cause of his death can be explained by medical experts with the use of those images.

"There is no doubt that he is deceased and the efforts surgeons and trauma specialists made to revive him after the bullet wounds entered his chest and abdomen."

The insider went on to say that some of Shakur's close friends, fellow rapper Malcolm Greenidge included, will be asked to confirm that they have not spoken to the 'Changes' hitmaker since the time of his death.

Greenidge was asked this question during Davis' Grand Jury hearing on September 29, where he confirmed that he hasn't spoken to Shakur since 1996.
