Music producer Dr. Dre served as a pallbearer at the funeral of his 20-year-old son Andre Young, Jr., who was found dead last Saturday by his mother at their home in Woodland Hills, Calif.
TMZ.com is reporting that more than 200 mourners were on hand for the service held in Glendale at The Church of the Recessional.
Andre’s cause of death could not be determined by an autopsy. Results of further toxicology tests are expected in six weeks.
People.com spoke to several friends of Young’s, who remembered him as a happy guy who had an optimistic outlook on life.
“He always had a smile on his face,” Sarah Steinhorn, Young’s former classmate at Stoneridge Preparatory in Simi Valley, Calif., tells the Web site, “even when something bad would happen, like if he didn’t pass a test or didn’t do as well as he wanted to. He always looked at the positive side.
“I remember him liking to go to parties in high school but not for the reasons that people think,” said Steinhorn. “It was never about drugs or alcohol with him. He just really enjoyed being around people, talking and interacting and meeting new people.”
