Dr. Dre's Son Found Dead



I suspect some foul play!


Hip-hop mogul Dr. Dre's 20-year-old son Andre R. Young Jr. was found dead on Saturday (Aug. 23) in his Los Angeles home. According to a spokesperson for the L.A. coroner, Young's mother discovered his unresponsive body in bed at about 10:24 a.m. The Los Angeles Times reports that Young had been out the previous night with friends. Dr. Dre released a statement that said, ''Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time.''

The coroner's spokesperson says the determination of the cause of Young's death has been deferred pending the outcome of various tests: ''It could take up to six weeks or longer.'

After reading this, I did a bit of research, because for any hip-hop heads from back in the day, you will remember that Michel'le had a child with Dr. Dre, but this is not that child.

As a tribute, we shall leave video of her slow jam mini-hit.

If you remember this one, pour a lil' something on the side of the curb.

How did I miss this one? I didn't hear anything about it in the mainstream news (big surprise).

RIP son of Dre.
