Andre Romelle Young Jr., the 20-year-old son of rapper Dr. Dre, was found dead in his Woodland Hills, California, home Saturday morning, his rep tells MTV News.

A cause of death yet to be determined, pending the results of a toxicology report. An autopsy was conducted Monday.

Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to wake him, the coroner’s spokesperson tells MTV News.

Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded to the scene.

Efforts to revive him failed, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the coroner’s spokesperson, Young had spent the previous evening with friends.

His mother told police that he’d returned home Saturday at around 5:30 a.m., and that she’d heard him in his bedroom.

Police said they did not suspect foul play.

“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr,” his rep said in a statement to MTV on Tuesday. “Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time.”
