Rapper Mac Miller's Official Cause Of Death Released

PITTSBURGH, PA - Rap star and Pittsburgh native Mac Miller died of mixed drug toxicity, the Los Angele County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office disclosed Monday. An autopsy revealed that Miller, whose real name was Malcolm McCormick, had a mix of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol in his body.

Miller, 26, was found unresponsive at his California home on Sept. 6. He reportedly had struggled with substance abuse issues in recent months after his breakup with singer Ariana Grande and recently was charged with DUI following an auto accident.

Miller's death occurred barely a month after the release of his latest album, "Swimming." He was preparing to embark on a tour that would have brought him back to his hometown in November to play the Petersen Events Center.

Miller grew up in Point Breeze and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in Squirrel Hill.

TMZ reported Monday that the full coroner’s report stated that Miller’s assistant found him unresponsive on his bed in a "praying position" -- kneeling forward with his face resting on his knees. The assistant described him as already being "blue" during the 911 call.

An empty bottle of alcohol was found on the nightstand near Miller’s body and a bottle of prescription pills was found in the bathroom. Police found a rolled up $20 bill with white powdery residue in Miller's right pocket.
