Dr. Dre Mourns Loss Of His Son
Dr. Dre was excited to be releasing his new ‘Detox’ album - which is his third and last installment in his solo album trilogy that he has worked so long and hard on. What would be an exciting time to him is now being put on hold to deal with a family crisis.
His 20 year old son - Andre Young Jr. - was discovered dead in his bedroom. The reason of his death is still unknown at this time. Authorities say that they are waiting for the results of the toxicology report to come back - but it will be eight weeks before that happens.
Sources say that the young man died sometime Saturday night after he had gotten home from partying with friends. “Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son. Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time,” Dre’s rep Lori Earl announced in a statement Monday.
