LOS ANGELES - Dr. Dre's 20-year-old son has died, the rapper's publicist said Tuesday.

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr.," publicist Lori Earl said in a statement.

Young Jr., who was named after his father, was found dead Saturday by his mother at their home in suburban Woodland Hills, county coroner's Lt. John Kades said.

An autopsy was performed Monday but the cause of death wasn't likely to be determined for eight weeks while toxicology tests are done, Kades said.

Remember Eminem?

I didn't know Dre had a son born around the time of Straight Outta Compton (1988). 20 years old is no time to die.

tragic....

i wonder if this was michel'le's son? remember the micky mouse talking chick that had a couple hits back in the day, well she was one of dre's babymommas and that was around the time she was out.

That is so sad. Prayers to him and his family.

Yeah that thought had crossed my mind too if this was the child he had with Michele. I'm sorry to hear about his loss though. Michele might have had an annoying speaking voice, but her singing voice was superior!
