Union City's Erick Morillo -- who used the pseudonym Reel 2 Reel -- was due in court Friday on a sexual battery charge. His body was found Tuesday morning, Local10 reports.
Morillo spent his teenage years in Columbia before moving to Union City with his family. He started DJing family events at 11 years old, and later met some of the people integral for his success at night clubs around Hudson County.
Morrillo's hit song "I Like To Move It" was produced in the early 1990s but took off again in the animated film "Madagascar," in 2005.
