Mac Miller was found Friday at around noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities were alerted by a male friend who placed a 911 call from Mac's home.
Miller has battled substance abuse issues for years ,something that came up in the wake of his breakup with Ariana Grande. The rapper wrecked his G-Wagon by wrapping it around a utility pole back in May and was arrested for DUI and hit and run. He fled the scene but cops say he later confessed at his home. He blew 2 times the legal limit.
His 2014 mixtape, "Faces," was almost autobiographical on the subject of drug use. There were also references to premature death.
