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.

[S13SilviaGirl]

That sucks, but, at least it wasn't Dre....hope he and his family are doing as well as they can at this point in time...

[Andrew Bohan]

for all dre has been through and put up with, it must be so frustrating to deal with this now.

[DUFFM4N]

so sad....thoughts go out to the family and friends


...it says cause of death is pending a toxicology report...think dre might change the name of the album?

[Bubbles]

Is Dre's son a celebrity? Or just the son of a celebrity?


I can't recall knowing who he was.

[Om1kron]

[spoolandslide]

Maybe dre can kick some wicked beats in memory of his boy

[Andrew Bohan]

[Andrew Bohan]
