Mac Miller died on Friday (September 7th) of an apparent drug overdose. He was 26-years-old. According to TMZ, law enforcement sources said that the Pittsburgh rapper was found at around noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities were alerted by a male, who made the 911 call, presumably from Mac’s home.
The family released a statement, saying, “Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26. He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers.”
The Blast reported that the rapper’s official cause of death is listed as “Deferred,” as the medical examiner needs additional investigation to determine why Mac died. According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, the rapper’s autopsy was completed on Saturday (September 8th), a day ahead of schedule. Sources close to the investigation said that the death could have been categorized as an accidental overdose, or even a natural death, but it is all pending on the toxicology.
TMZ later reported that very little evidence was left behind following the rapper’s apparent overdose. Law enforcement sources told the publication that they only recovered a tiny amount of white powder when they searched the home for clues as to how Mac died. They also believe, based on conversations with witnesses and other evidence, that the house was swept clean, so there was no evidence of drug use.
