Dr. Dre // Andre Young, Jr.

According to People.com, rapper/producer Dr. Dre’s son, Andre Young Jr, apparently died of an heroin & morphine overdose. The drug test results had been pending for four months and it has now been confirmed by the LA County Coroner’s office on Friday.

“This case has been closed, it’s been ruled an accident due to morphine and heroin intoxication,” coroner spokesman Larry Dietz told People.

On the morning of August 23, 2008, Andre, 20, was found unresponsive by his mother in their home located in Woodland Hills, CA.  Paramedics pronounced Young dead at the scene. His mother Jenita Porter told investigators that her son had been out late that night with his friends and recalls hearing him snoring around 5:30 a.m.

    loook we shoulodnt be focusing on the dact of why people use drugs. if you have ever had a drug problem then u kno how hard it is to stop especially opiates like keroin and oxycontin. its truly sad. i mourn for his father. what terrible timing as well because he was about to release the detox album but what father is going to send a record out talking about the usual, drugs sex, and murder. after his son just passed. truly a sad event and i hope his family sees that to everything bad there is good.
