Dr. Dre’s son, Andre Young Jr., 20, was found dead at his home in Woodland
Hills, Calif., on Saturday morning.

“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his
family’s grief and privacy at this time,” rep Lori Earl said in a statement.

L.A. Weekly reports
that Young was out the previous night and returned home around 5:30 A.M., according
to L.A. County Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter. Young’s mother went to check
on her son in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive, and called 911.

“Police arrived and declared him (deceased),” Winter said, adding there
was “no visible trauma or the like.”

The precise cause of death won’t be known for up to eight weeks, when toxicology
tests are completed, according to reports.

Dr. Dre also has a son Marcel, born in 1991, from singer Michel’le; a son
Curtis McClemore (aka rapper Hood Surgeon) from Cassandra Joy Greene; and two other
children, son Truth (born 1997) and daughter Truly, from wife Nicole.

Our prayers go out to Dre and his family.
