Rapper Dr Dre is in mourning after his 20-year-old son was found dead in his bedroom earlier this week.
Andre Romelle Young Jr was found unconscious in his bed on Saturday morning by his mother.
After failing to wake her son, Jenita Porter, called for paramedics who, unfortunately, were unable to revive Andre.
The cause of death has yet to be established, with a series of toxicology tests already lined up by the Los Angeles coroner's service.
A statement from Dr Dre's publicist, Lori Earl, said: "Dr Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."
Dr Dre and Andre's mother fought a tense paternity case in the 1990s after Jenita filed a lawsuit requesting $5,000 a month in child support from the hip-hop star.
Dr Dre has two other children, son Truth and daughter Truly, with wife Nicole Threatt and is also the biological father of Curtis Young – better known as rapper Hood Surgeon.
