The 26-year-old rapper was found unresponsive by emergency services who were called to his mansion in the San Fernando Valley area of LA on Friday around noon, but could not be revived. He was pronounced dead at the scene - thought to be his bedroom. A male friend is believed to have placed the 911 call on Friday, telling first responders that the patient was in cardiac arrest.

According to TMZ, cops believe Mac did die of a drug overdose, but could only find small amounts of a white powder in his luxury home. Based on their conversations with witnesses and other evidence, they think Mac's house could have been 'wiped clean' of virtually any trace of drug use before his body was found. The US gossip website claimed police sources said it made "no sense" for Mac to have rid his home of drug paraphernalia, illegal substances and pill bottles on the off chance he would have a fatal reaction to his intake. (Image: Getty Images North America) (Image: Getty Images North America) On top of their suspicions, TMZ says other people - possibly friends and acquaintances - had been in Mac's home on the Thursday evening and Friday. Witnesses have said they didn't see Mac alive after Thursday night, so he could been dead for hours before the 911 call was placed. Toxicology reports have now been requested and Mac's official cause of death will be confirmed by the LA County Coroner after the results come back. Just hours before his death, Mac was active on Instagram as he shared clips of himself listening to new album Swimming to his Story. (Image: Instagram) The lyrics to his track So It Goes have taken on a fresh sense of poignancy now, as they read: "Nine lives, never, die, f**k a heaven, I'm still gettin' high." Mac had also been looking forward to the future in his final tweet before his shock death. "I just wanna go on tour," he wrote. "Go get tickets for tour. Thundercat J.I.D. I’m bringing a band," he added. "The show is going to be special every night. I wish it started tomorrow. It starts October 27th." (Image: FilmMagic) Mac's devastated family were the first to officially confirm his death. In a statement they said: "Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26. "He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time." His ex, Ariana Grande, is yet to break her silence, but has gone into hiding at the apartment she shares with fiance Pete Davidson in New York City. Her long-time manager and friend Scooter Braun was spotted arriving at her place carrying bags of food as she comes to term with the loss of a man she once described as "one of my favourite people on the planet".<doc-sep>Celeb obsessed?

Sign up Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Mac Miller's shock death from an apparent drug overdose has raised questions after police found his home had been virtually scrubbed clean of illegal substances. The 26-year-old rapper was last seen alive on Thursday night and had people around his house that evening and on Friday when emergency services rushed to the scene following a 911 call at around noon. Investigating cops found just a tiny amount of white powder at his San Fernando Valley home - not enough for a fatal overdose, TMZ reports, and witnesses told police that the house was "almost swept clean" to get rid of evidence of drug use. (Image: Getty Images North America) According to the US news site, law enforcement sources believe Mac did overdose on drugs, but it makes "no sense" the rapper would have emptied the house of illegal substances, pill bottles and other drug paraphernalia beforehand on the off chance he might die. Nobody has yet stepped forward to say they made the 911 call, but it's thought one of Mac's male friends begged paramedics for help and said the patient was in cardiac arrest. Mac was pronounced dead at the scene in a bedroom and a coroner's van arrived a short while later to take his body away. Toxicology tests have been requested, but Mac's official cause of death cannot be confirmed until they come back. (Image: Splash News) (Image: Splash News) Mac was well known for talking about his substance abuse, saying just two years ago that he "hated being sober" and talking about how being rich means he could afford any drugs he wanted. "I'm always like, if someone's like 'you wanna try this?' I'm just like 'yeah, sure'. And then it just kinda f**ks you up if you've got a bunch of money because if you try a drug, you like it, you can buy a lot of it," he told Fader magazine in 2016. "At one point weed didn't relax me from everything, it made me more paranoid about all this s**t happening. So I needed to get a drug that was a little more numbing, if you will, and less, like, in your head. "I think that's what sparked me doing other drugs, because I hate being sober. I wanted a drug to do." (Image: Twitter) (Image: Twitter) But, in words that have taken on a new poignancy in the wake of his death, Mac said there was no romance in dying from an overdose. "I'd rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can't even get out of his house," he added at the time. "Overdosing is just not cool. There's no legendary romance. You don't go down in history because you overdose. You just die." It's since emerged Mac's friends had begged the rapper to rein in his drug use as they were concerned for his health. (Image: Twitter) In the same Fader interview, the rapper French Montana sits with Mac in the studio while the younger man mixes up a purple drink - thought to be sizzurp , a legal high made from a codeine-based cough syrup and fizzy drink. French tells him: "This is too much though, this is pure. This is not the s**t you did before - you're not listening to me. "This is not even the one you think is it. Listen to me, I'm your brother. This right here, you're gonna miss a couple of shows." But Mac just laughs off his friend's warning and holds up the bottle to the light, proclaiming: "No way! This is perfect, this much."<doc-sep>pls take care of yourself — Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 17, 2018 Go get tickets for tour. Thundercat J.I.D. I’m bringing a band.
