Rapper Mac Miller died from an accidental overdose due to a combination of alcohol and drugs, a coroner has found.
The Los Angeles County coroner's report named the 26-year-old’s cause of death as "mixed toxicity," saying cocaine, alcohol and the powerful opioid fentanyl were found in his system.
Miller's personal assistant, making a daily visit to Miller's home in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, found him unresponsive on his bed at about 11.30am on September 7.
Paramedics soon arrived and Miller was declared dead 16 minutes after the initial 911 call.
Miller's mother told a coroner's investigator that she had spoken to him the night before his death, and that he had been in good spirits, seeming very excited about a new album and upcoming tour.
The Pittsburgh native's music, which often examined his depression and drug use, won him fans among some of the biggest names in hip-hop.
Performers at a tribute concert for him last week included Chance the Rapper, Travis Scott and John Mayer. The concert launched the Mac Miller Circles Fund in honour of the hip-hop star and raised money for arts education in underserved communities.
He was in a two-year relationship with Ariana Grande that ended earlier this year. Grande released a new song, "Thank U, Next ," on Saturday that mentioned Miller along with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, her fiance until recently. In the song, she pays tribute to Miller.
