Dave 'Disco D' Shayman's death treated as suicide

50 Cent producer Dave 'Disco D' Shayman has been found dead.

The 26-year-old, who worked on the rapper's hit 'Ski Mask' from his 2005 album 'The Massacre', was found in his New York home. His death is being treated as potential suicide.

The producer, who also worked with Shiny Toy Guns, Nina Sky and Kevin Federline, was recently diagnosed as bi-polar and he was said to be suffering with depression.

Aside from his production work, Disco D worked on a series of TV commercials, films and award shows, reports AllHipHop.com.

A funeral is expected to be held later this week in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
