TMZ reports that Mac Miller was found on Friday at his home in San Fernando Valley. He was pronounced dead from apparent overdose at the scene.
Police were reportedly alerted to Miller’s alleged overdose when a male friend called 911 from the rapper’s home. The dispatch audio reveals that first responders were called about a patient in cardiac arrest.
Mac Miller’s battle with substance abuse has been ongoing, and was brought to light again after his split with Ariana Grande, whom he dated for two years. Just days after the break up was announced, Mac wrecked his car and was cited for a hit and run after he blew two-times the legal limit.
“Pls take care of yourself,” Ariana Grande tweeted following the arrest. However, the singer, who is now engaged to Pete Davidson, has yet to make a statement about Mac Miller’s tragic and untimely death.
