The Los Angeles County Coroner reported today that the son of hip hop record producer and rapper Dr. Dre has died. Andre Young Jr. was found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.
Young was out the previous night and returned home around 5:30 A.M., according to Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His mother went to check on him in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive, and called 911. He was 20 years of age.
The cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.
Andre Young Sr., better known as Dr. Dre, shot to fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. He later became an artist and co-owner of Death Row Records. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for the single "Let Me Ride." As a producer, Dre was credited with popularizing West Coast G-funk.
Dr. Dre is currently the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment.

Re: Dr. Dre's son found dead
I don't know anything about Dre's personal life but that sucks. RIP. Wasn't Dre's long awaited album (The Chinese Democracy of rap) supposed to come out this fall? Shame his kid won't see it released after all the work that probably went into it over the years.
