Hapeville Chief of Police Bruce Hedley tells TMZ … Lil Poppa was in a single-car accident on Interstate 85 south of Hapeville … which is when he called his manager asking what he should do. The car was still drivable.
The manager told him they’d meet up in a nearby parking lot at the Hilton Hotel … and Hedley tells us when they met up, Lil Poppa stayed inside his car as she spoke to his manager through the rolled-down window.

We’re told it’s unclear what they discussed — but at some point, the rapper pulled a handgun, put it to his head and pulled the trigger, shooting himself dead. Hedley tells us … an off-duty officer who was working at the hotel called 911.
Lil Poppa was rushed to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead … no suicide note left.
