DR. DRE'S SON FOUND DEAD: Cause not yet determined for 20-year-old Andre Romelle Young Jr.(August 27, 2008)
*The 20-year-old son of hip hop producer Dr. Dre was found dead Saturday morning at his home in Woodland Hills, California. The body of Andre Romelle Young Jr. was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. by his mother, Jenita Porter. She called 911 when her efforts to wake him were unsuccessful. Paramedics arrived and were also not able to revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A cause of death has yet to be determined, but police said they did not suspect foul play. 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, the coroner's spokesperson stated. However, TMZ.com is quoting a source who claims Andre, Jr. was home by 12:30 a.m., and in bed shortly thereafter. 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."
