Dr. Dre lost his son this weekend.  We aren’t sure as to why or what happened but this is definitely a shock.  He was only 20 years old.  Here’s an excerpt from the L.A. Times article: 

Rap impresario Dr. Dre’s 20-year-old son was found dead over the weekend in his Woodland Hills home, coroner’s officials said.

Andre R. Young Jr. had been out with friends the night before and was discovered in his bed by his mother at 10:24 a.m. Saturday, Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter said.

“She found him unresponsive and called paramedics,” Winter said, adding that an autopsy had been completed but that determination of the cause of death was deferred pending the outcome of a “gamut of tests, including toxicology.”

 

 

 Andre Young Sr., professionally known as Dr. Dre, released a statement to the media through a representative.

 

 

 

“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time,” his publicist, Lori Earl, said in the statement. 

 

 

 

My heart goes out to Dr. Dre and his family.  You can read the rest of the article from the L.A. Times here.
