Dr. Dre's 20 Year Old Son Found Dead

Dr. Dre's 20 Year Old Son Found Dead

I am so heartbroken for him. Dr. Dre's 20 year old son, Andre Romelle Young Jr, has been found dead. No details have been given so far on cause of death.

Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to wake him, the coroner's spokesperson tells MTV News.

Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded to the scene.

Efforts to revive him failed, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a statement Dre's spokesperson said,

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr," his rep said in a statement to MTV on Tuesday. "Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

My heart goes out to the family. I cannot even begin to imagine feeling the immense loss they're going through right now.

because 20 year olds just don't drop dead without help. It's sad for everyone involved but if it's drugs, how selfish and horrible
