On Sept. 7, 2018, the 26-year-old Mac Miller, whose real name is Malcolm James McCormick, was found dead in his home in the 11600 block of West Valley Crest Drive in Studio City. Miller died of an accidental overdose caused by a mix of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol, according to the toxicology report from the L.A. County coroner's office.

Earlier this month, 28-year-old Cameron James Pettit of Hollywood Hills was arrested by DEA agents on charges that he sold rapper Mac Miller fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills just two days before his death.
