AMERICAN rapper and Pittsburgh native Mac Miller has died at the young age of 26.

Miller, whose real name is Malcolm James McCormack, has been very open about his substance abuse issues, died of an apparent overdose, according to law enforcement sources.

After a friend called 911 from Miller’s San Fernando Valley, California, home he was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family said in a statement that Miller died Friday but gave no further details.

“He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans,” the statement said.

Hours before his death, Miller posted an Instagram story where a vinyl record is seen playing part of the lyrics from one of his songs titled “So it Goes”.
