Dr. Dre's Son Died Of Heroin Overdose

by Jokesta on January 5th, 2009

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/2452/9/12344/asset.jpgThe Los Angeles Coroner's Office has determined that the untimely death of Dr. Dre's son, Andre Young Jr., was caused by an overdose of heroin and morphine.

"This case has been closed, it's been ruled an accident due to morphine and heroin intoxication," coroner spokesman Larry Dietz told People Magazine.

Young was found unresponsive in his home late last August. Paramedics were unable to revive the 20 year old who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Young's mother, Jenita Porter, told investigators that her son had been out with friends that night, and she recalled hearing him snoring around 5:30 a.m.

Dr. Dre has been quiet regarding the incident, a statement released by his publicist reads as follows:

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son, please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

^^Why would ANYBODY still wanna rep ‘The Inc’????

Even if this was the late nineties/early 2000, what did the ‘The Inc’ ever REALLY DO that was THAT SPECTACULAR???? Oh, they had ONE rapper who TOLD LIES and another ‘singer’ lacing the hooks.

Oh, and how could I forget – the other 2 ‘never could be’s’ i.e black child and cadillac tah….what a fucken waste!!!!

Thats real talk cos i went to high school in the nineties and if a nigga came to me and tried to sell me crack i would ov stoled him real talk / matter of fact i sold dat bulshit to so many olderheads dat had fell off years before i was in da game dat dat shit was a turn off/ i sold dope for like two months but my connect who was a user started getting real irrate when i couldnt cop with him and i almost had to shot dat nigga so i stiped sellin dat bullshit/ anybody born after 1983 grew up seein crackheads and what that shit does to you/ i remember bein twelve years old and beatin up crackheads for kicks wit my littl crew and dopefiends was no better we used to kick da shit out of dem when dey was leanin so for a nigga my age or older to fuck wit dat shit (im sad to say it) deserves whatver happens to them/ shit im sure he went to a school with dare or something like it/ My father was the biggest poweder cocaine user on the west coast and I never fucked with it/ I just think of all the bullshit i put in my coke just to stretch it so i could make more sells/ that shit is foolish and any nigga foolish enough to fuck iwt it deserves whatever happens to him
