Rapper Dr. Dre's son found dead
A representative of Dr. Dre confirmed that a body found Saturday in Young's Woodland Hills, Calif., home was that of the pioneering rapper's son, MTV reported Tuesday.
A representative for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office told the network that an autopsy was performed on the body Monday but that the cause of death hasn't been determined pending a toxicology report.
Authorities said Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to rouse him. Paramedics were called but their efforts to revive him failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they didn't suspect foul play, MTV reported.
A spokesman for the rapper issued a statement saying: "Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

Death of Dr. Dre's son
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Dr. Dre in the passing of his son. They say that it is more painful to lose a child than even a spouse. God bless the family.
