Dr. Dre’s Son Found Dead at 20, Cause Undetermined
Tragedy has struck hip hop royalty. Andre Romelle Young Jr., the 20-year-old son of iconic producer Dr. Dre was found dead in his Woodland Hills, CA home Saturday morning from an apparently unknown (or yet-unreleased) cause. The coroner’s office was unable to confirm to press whether or not Young was indeed Dre’s son, until today’s confirmation by the superstar’s rep.
An autopsy was conducted yesterday, but the cause-of-death results were inconclusive. Toxicology results will likely shed more light upon the tragedy.
According to the coroner’s spokesperson, Young had spent the previous evening with friends. His mother told police that he’d returned home Saturday at around 5:30 a.m., and that she’d heard him in his bedroom. Police said they did not suspect foul play.
“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time,” a spokesperson for Dre released to the press today.
