Dr. Dre’s Son: Toxicology Test Requested, Cause of Death Unknown

Rapper Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his 20-year-old son Andre Young Jr. and his cause of death is still unknown.

Initial tests show that Young, who was found unresponsive in his bed by his mother at 10am on Saturday, did not suffer any type of trauma and no signs of foul play were visible so a toxicology test is being requested to look for more clues.

“We don’t know yet why he died,” Capt. Ed Winter told People Magazine Wednesday. “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 was reportedly out with friends the night before his death but his mother remembers hearing him snore around 5:30am.

Dr. Dre, who lives in a nearby home with his younger children, is dealing with the death of his 20-year-old son and is most likely hopeful that further tests will lay to rest the reason his son passed away.

“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.”
