So when Dr. Dre said "so f*** rap, you can have it back", he wasn't kidding!

Coroner: Dr. Dre's Son Died From Overdose of Heroin and Morphine

Andre Young Jr.

Dr. Dre's son, Andre Young Jr., died from an overdose of heroin and morphine, the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner confirmed to PEOPLE on Friday.

"This case has been closed, it's been ruled an accident due to morphine and heroin intoxication," coroner spokesman Larry Dietz told PEOPLE. The drug test results had been pending for four months.

Young, 20, was found unresponsive by his mother, Jenita Porter, 40, in their Woodland Hills, Calif., home on the morning of Aug. 23.

Paramedics pronounced Young – who was remembered by friends as an optimistic young man – dead at the scene.

Porter told investigators that her son had been out with friends that night, and she recalled hearing him snoring around 5:30 a.m.

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son," the rapper's publicist Lori Earl previously said in a statement. "Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

Why I'm sure 3 billion can't make Dre happy.

There was a report a few weeks ago done by some sound company that basically tested every brand of headphones for sound quality. The brands were graded from 0-100%, Ironically popular brands like BEATS, ipod(apple headphones), Skull Kandy all pretty much were ranked bottom of the barrel, below 60% in the quality of sound department.

Maybe not put alot of his own stuff out, but his production is all over rap music, he's put off Detox for years because he kept giving the beats he produced to other rappers, he's a great producer.

.

But I feel when/if he eventually puts out Detox it will be a let down, which is maybe why he hasnt already

Been trying to tell people this for ages, they are just an expensive fashion acsessory, aimed at kids who think when they can hear more Bass its better quality.

Both companies have made their fortune through the aggressive marketing of overpriced, underperforming fashion accessories. They deserve each other.

A match made in heaven. Both have a brand and logo that screams "Gullable".

Baffling why people would want to pay $100+ for a set of headphones just to listen to shit-hop, Rhianna and Beyonce. Trust me, they are still going to sound just as bad using a pair of $10 earbuds. Dre is laughing all the way to the bank!

I'll always remember him as a woman batterer. Both Michel'le and Dee Barnes know first hand. Now Michel'le is probably financially set thanks to her son with Dre, but what about Dee Barnes? When she sued him, somehow his lawyers got his fine down to $2500 and a lot of community service. I hope he's a changed man. He never apologized to Dee. If you read her twitter it's clear from her reaction to this news.

Dre also beat up Tairrie B when she was signed to Ruthless Records.

I first read about it years ago in an interview with Outburn magazine after Tairrie B went hardcore metal with her group My Ruin. I had a few of their albums.

It's a done deal.

SIGH. I CAN'T STAND Dre's bitch ass! I'm SO not happy for him!

The video he made with Tyrese a few weeks ago had me dying of laugher! LOL! Tyrese is a bit of a clown under it all Congrats to Dre. He's now up there with Oprah, Bill Gates, etc. I imagine that Jay-Z is sitting in a corner jealous of Dre's accomplishment. I think that's probably the reason he just fired his manager. He wants someone that will get him in the same circles as Dre. But, Jay-Z seems like he's not as savvy of a businessman as Dre. Either way, congrats to Dr. Dre.

Congrats Dre!

HE created head phones, made millions off of headphones HE created and then made a genius investment. I ain't mad at him. Well deserved! I think the headphones are overrated personally but gotta give props where it is due.

Someone told me the other day that the Beat earbuds alone were $150! Are you kidding me!?!?! This guy is a marketing genius to pull that one off! I've heard conflicting reports about the sound quality in the headphones.

Yeah, this is true. Also - this album was one of the first albums to contain a production by my friend QD3, Quincy Jones son. I remember talking about it with him.
