Singer Aaliyah allegedly handed sleeping pill moments before fatal plane crash, new book claims.
A bombshell new book has made some shocking allegations about the day RnB singer and actress Aaliyah boarded a private jet that took her life.
The Grammy winner's life was cut drastically short when the light aircraft crashed in the Bahamas in 2001, killing her, the pilot and all eight passengers on board.
Aaliyah was just 22.
Now a new biography titled Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah , by music journalist Kathy Iandoli, alleges the singer — full name Aaliyah Dana Haughton — was given a sleeping pill and carried unconscious onto the aircraft before the fatal crash.
"They took her out of the van; she didn't even know she was getting boarded on a plane," eyewitness Kingsley Russell, who was with Aaliyah before she boarded the aircraft, said.
"She went on the airplane asleep."

Russell was only 13 at the time, but it was her family that owned a taxi company used by Aaliyah and her entourage.
