TOXICOLOGY TEST ORDERED FOR DR. DRE'S SON: Autopsy alone could not determine cause of death.
*A toxicology test has been ordered for the son of producer Dr. Dre after an autopsy failed to reveal the cause of his death.
"We don't know yet why he died," Capt. Ed Winter told People Wednesday of Andre Young Jr. "There were no signs of trauma or foul play. We'll be doing toxicology and other tests, which will take up to six weeks."
A toxicology test is "mainly to determine whether alcohol or drugs played a part in a person's death," Capt. Winter said.
Young, 20, was found unresponsive in his bed around 10 a.m. Saturday in his Woodland Hills, Calif., home by his mother, Jenita Porter. Paramedics declared Young dead shortly thereafter.
"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son," the rapper's publicist Lori Earl said in a statement Tuesday. "Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."
