Dr. Dre's son found dead


Recommended Posts

The son of legendary rap producer Dr Dre has been found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.

Andre Young Jr., 20, was unresponsive when his mother went to check on him around 10 A.M., calling 911 to alert paramedics.

Young?s cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.

His father, Andre Young Sr, is better known to the world as ?Dr. Dre?, an award winning producer who shot to fame as a pioneer of the influential gangsta rap group NWA, and becoming co-owner of West Coast record label Death Row records.

Later, he became popular for his discovery and production for white rap artist Eminem.

That sucks. I'm curious to see what Dre's son died of, perhaps drug overdose?

I dont think so.

His own dad does drugs, so it's not doubt really...

Dre only does weed and I don't think he even does that anymore.

That's just gonna delay his album further. Shame.

RIP

Yes. Another setback for Detox :(

First - I'm sorry for his loss.

Second - I was going to guess drive by, but then I Read he died in his home, so I changed it to drugs.

Why I would be sorry for someone that die because an overdose of drug?

maybe I read a different article... but I do not see the word "drug" anywhere... or is everyone just assuming this? Anyway... I would hope people could postpone judgement until the cause of death is provided... while rare... a 20 year old can die without it having to be an overdose... either way... its a shame to have to bury your child regardless of cause

It's ALWAYS drugs eh? How about heart failure, blood clot, PRESCRIPTION overdoes, seizure, or any of about a million other medical complications someone might have?

It has to be drugs! You know Dre is popping pills, shooting heroin, and smoking everything under the sun on a daily basis...his son probably got involved right after he came out of the womb. Duh, he's a rap musician. :rolleyes:

Prescription overdose is still DRUGS. Everything else you named, how about NO? If he had any of those conditions, an autopsy would reveal it. His autopsy didn't reveal anything. That's why they're doing a toxicology report...

He didn't die from heart failure, bullet holes, bling snapping his neck, or anything else that leaves physical traces. It's DRUGS!

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
