The 20-year-old son of Grammy award-winning rapper and producer Dr. Dre was found dead over the weekend at his home in Woodland Hills, California, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

According to Reuters, Andre Young Jr. was out with friends Friday night and his mother later found him “unresponsive in bed” when she tried to wake him early Saturday morning, coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter told Reuters. She immediately called paramedics, who later pronounced Young dead at the scene.

An autopsy was conducted and the cause of death is still pending toxicology and other tests, which may take six weeks or more, Winter said.

All of us at D:ET send our thoughts and prayers out to Dre and his family during this tough time.

The long wait is finally over as Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone was released today on Roadrunner Records. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this day to come since seeing their killer performance at this summer’s Mayhem Festival.

Anticipating the release of something like this usually ends in disappointment, especially when that something is an album. But not here. Corey Taylor, Joey Jordison, and the rest of the hard rockers have put everything they’ve got into this record…and it pays off big time. Corey seemelessly transitions from unrelenting screams to beautiful harmony while Joey’s drumming insanity keeps all tracks moving at a break neck pace.

If you buy one album today, make sure it is this one.
