The death of Andre Young Jr – the 20-year-old son of Dr Dre – has shocked many, mainly because nobody seems to know why he even died.
Andre Young Jr was found dead on Saturday morning. However, the auopsy carried out on his body offered no clues into his cause of death. And that means that everyone involved will have to go through an uncomfortable wait while a toxicology test is carried out.
As sad as this obviously is, the parallels between Dr Dre’s son and Anna Nicole Smith are painfully clear. In short this story will probably go on forever, with weird scary clown facepaint videos and a lengthy investigation into the paternity of Andre Young Jr’s bab… no, wait, it’s nothing like Anna Nicole Smith’s death. Sorry.
We haven’t really covered the untimely death of Dr Dre’s 20-year-old son Andre Young Jr yet. We’re not sure why, since the tragic deaths of non-celebrities is obviously such a rich mine of comedy, isn’t it?
But, to get you up to speed, at around 10am on Saturday morning, Andre Young Jr was found unresponsive in his bed by his mother after a night out with friend. Shortly afterwards, he was declared dead by paramedics.
That in itself must be upsetting enough for Andre’s parents, but the news has been compounded by the fact that his autopsy was inconclusive and he now has to go through a toxicology test. People reports:
“We don’t know yet why he died,” Capt. Ed Winter told PEOPLE Wednesday. “There were no signs of trauma or foul play. We’ll be doing toxicology and other tests, which will take up to six weeks.” A toxicology test is “mainly to determine whether alcohol or drugs played a part in a person’s death,” Capt. Winter said.
Meanwhile, Dr Dre himself has released a statement about Andre’s death:
“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son. Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time.”
So, for once, we will.

All death should be viewed as a significant loss and all families should have the right to privacy, including celebrities. I read a lot of gossip magizines and I find it extremly twisted when news reporters use death to find comedy. There is nothing funny about death, no matter how the person dies, their families should not have to tolerate humiliation from the media. I am sadened by the loss of any human being, celebrity or otherwise. I wish the best for the family and am sorry for their loss.

“Chastity Blocker”???? For real? Isn’t that a double negative?
Anyhow, you’re an idiot. A sanctimonious, pious shithead.
I’m glad that you are ‘ sadened by the loss of any human being’.
Since one dies about every 1.3 seconds, you must really have your hands full.
Mocking death is the ultimate triumph of man over his absurd
inheritance: the desire to know why we are here and the impossibility
of knowing. “Chastity Blocker”? Hah! You must be the life of the party!

“He was a young aspiring musician, what a loss…”
If he was anything like his father, this can only improve the quality of music overall.
And if you can’t tell, I don’t give a shit about another dead person.
