death has not yet been determined, pending the results of a toxicology
report, a representative for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office
told MTV News. The coroner's rep confirmed that an Andre Romelle Young
Jr. passed away Saturday, but was uncertain if he was Dre's son; Dre's
rep confirmed that information Tuesday (August 26).Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday
by his mother, who attempted to rouse him, the coroner's spokesperson
said. Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded
to the scene. After their efforts to revive him failed, he was
pronounced dead at the scene. 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. A spokesperson for Dr. Dre issued the following statement
Tuesday on the rapper's behalf: "Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his
son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at
this time."An outpouring of support flooded Dr. Dre's MySpace page in the
wake of his son's passing, with fans offering their condolences and
wishing the family strength. "Our prayers are with you and your
family," wrote one fan. SOURCE:MTVNEWS.COM
