Rapper Mac Miller's cause of death still not ascertained

An autopsy has been completed but the cause of death is not yet clear for hip-hop star Mac Miller, who was found dead in his Los Angeles home last week. 

Los Angeles County coroner's spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said Monday that investigators have performed the autopsy and released the body to the family, but a cause will not be announced until the results of toxicology tests that can take weeks or months. Miller's rhymes often dealt with his depression and drug use, and his fans and collaborators included some of hip-hop's biggest names. Paramedics found him unresponsive and declared him dead on Friday.

Following his death, his former girlfriend, musician Ariana Grande is being viciously trolled on social media and being blamed for the ordeal. Grande was in a two-year relationship with Miller until earlier this year and posted a black-and-white photo of him with no caption on her Instagram page Saturday. She has also turned off commenting on her social media pages to keep out trolls. 

Meanwhile, fellow musician Lil Xan also added a face tattoo to his extensive collection of body art to pay tribute to Miller. The 22-year-old rapper debuted the Latin phrase “Memento Mori” on top edge of his right eyebrow. The phrase translates to “Remember that you will die.”
