Rapper Mac Miller has died at the age of 26.
TMZ and Variety have reported that Miller, born Malcolm James McCormick, died of an apparent overdose.
He was found Friday at noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Miller has had a troubled history with drug abuse, which he has recalled in his dark lyrics.
In May, he was arrested and charged with a DUI and hit-and-run after crashing his car into a utility pole.
Miller was in a relationship with Ariana Grande, which ended in May.
