Dr Dre's son found dead

26/08/2008 1:24:00 PM.  | Jesse Perez

The son of legendary rap producer Dr Dre has been found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.

Andre Young Jr., 20, was unresponsive when his mother went to check on him around 10 A.M., calling 911 to alert paramedics.

Young’s cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.

His father, Andre Young Sr, is better known to the world as “Dr. Dre”, an award winning producer who shot to fame as a pioneer of the influential gangsta rap group NWA, and becoming co-owner of West Coast record label Aftermath Entertainment.

Later, he became popular for his discovery and production of rap artist Eminem.

I guess words cannot express how you feel...1st things 1st, you have the whole world mourning with you and there is nothing that we (your people) want to see more than you and your family come through this. My heart aches for you, you have my condelences. Keep your head up and keep your family together. This is when you know who's your people - Me for one. I pray for better days, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Your son was the chosen one....

Stop and see that life is not a destination in hopes of a journey With out a proper guide the direction could be confusing The entertainment business is made up exaggeration and tales don't pattern your ideas behind things that can unfold at anytime Dr.Dre set a fine example in re-building his life over and gave young ones the inspiration of change is good if you keep seeking it... slangs are not meant to be taken literal it is expression of ones presence not one nonexistence ...........

Andre, we are very sad to hear about Dre JR. We send our condelescences to you and your family. This is too much news for any father to handle alone; family and friends will be your best retreat. We hope that future events don't cause you any further grief. Reaching out to you from Vancouver, B.C. ~Peace

white rapper? why can't eminem just be a rapper?

Can't say I'm sorry to hear that. Haven't really heard anything that he or his father have done good in this world, and no, producing rap music with horrid lyrics and about questionable content isn't good.

Um... dude is white. Just because you act like you don't see it don't mean he ain't.. Cracker ass punk..

Jon, he is a "rapper". Perhaps we should call African American "rappers" black rappers. In Rizzo's words, "Just because you act like you don't see it don't mean he ain't". Watch them come out of the woodwork now...... Waste of a young life, nothing unusual in this now especially in the music industry. Condolences to the family.

Dre is a genius and has given a lot to the world. No telling what his son could have achieved. What a shame.

to the kit kit (not in the hood) you know what else is not good? sorry ass people like you, that don't have a clue! it's obvious you commented on a subject(dre jr.) you know nothing about! the reason you haven't heard nothing good about them is because, 1rst u have 2 crawl out of your hole u hide in. Then you have 2 open that tiny space that sits behind your big forehead , and expand! you know upgrade? then u can see there is more brilliant colors in the world than just one! you Sizzzzyyy

Let this be a sign for all that reads this message that life is not forever and you will never when your time is up. Knowing that, you should seriously consider living right, treating people in the way that you want to be treated, and keeping God first. DRE, my condolences goes out to you and family. You have a support group behind you that you could not imagine. We love you and will keep you and family lifted in prayer.

dre, i dont respect your music and i dont respect your parenting style. you let your son go crazy on drugs and alcohol and ended up passing away from the gluttony of the wealth his parents gave him. His death is a tragic reminder for all parents out there.
