Getty Mac Miller dead
According to multiple reports, Mac Miller died today of an apparent overdose.
Police say that Miller was found around noon at his San Fernando Valley home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
One of Mac’s friends called 911 when he grew unresponsive. It’s no secret that Miller has had problems with substance abuse in the past, most dramatically highlighted during his breakup with pop singer Ariana Grande, but his death has left the world in total shock.
Celebrities React to His Passing
Chance the Rapper was one of the first to tweet out his dismay:
I dont know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him.

It took me a long time to find it but I did. I was soooo big of a fan that one of my first ever recordings, a song that would get remade over and over til it ended up on 10Day, was over a beat you rapped on. Koolaid and Frozen Pizza birthed Brain Cells.
