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.

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