\u00a0 \u00a0Rapper Malcolm McCormick, known as Mac Miller, was found dead at his home in California on Sept. 7, 2018. There has been much talk about how Miller died. Right now, people are saying the cause of death is a drug overdose. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The rumor is that the police are still secretly investigating his case, feeling that drugs did not kill Miller. Miller was dead for hours in his home before emergency responders arrived, TMZ states. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Miller had thrown a party the night before his death, and a large number of people were still at his house in the morning. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0TMZ reporters say that the first 9-1-1 call was around noon. It seems no one found Miller dead until noon when the 9-1-1 call was first made. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Most of the people that were at the party spent the night Thursday and no one had seen him alive since Thursday night. So the question was, had Miller been dead since Thursday and they just happened to find him Friday morning?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Ariana Grande, his ex-girlfriend, had stated that Miller had been using drugs and made a statement on Instagram saying she wished she could have made the pain go away. A lot of people are blaming her for his death because he died a few months after she broke up with him. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Grande later ended up in the hospital for having an anxiety attack due to her getting cyber bullied and blamed for Miller\u2019s death. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Miller started his music career in 2007 with his first KIDS mixtape hit in 2010, but he had been rapping since the age of 14. His career really started after landing a record deal with Rostrum Records and he then released his first album \u201cBlue Slide Park\u201d on Nov. 8, 2011. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Miller was originally known as EZ mac when his 2007 mixtape \u201cMy Mackin Aint Easy\u201d first released. \u201cBlue Slide Park\u201d was number one on the U.S Billboard 200 chart, making this album the first independently distributed debut album to accomplish this since 1995. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Miller then started performing in songs with bigger rappers like Juicy J, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar and Cam\u2019ron. Miller also appeared in \u201cScary Movie 5\u201d with Snoop Dog. Miller then went on to sign a record deal with Warner Bros Records and dropping his deal with Rostrum Records. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0He reached additional critical acclaim with the albums \u201cGO:OD AM,\u201d \u201cThe Divine Feminine\u201d and his latest project that released this past August, \u201cSwimming.\u201d He released 12 mixtapes and five studio albums in his 11 year career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Miller seemed to be widely known and his death at 26 shocked a lot of people. Seven of his albums have climbed back into the Billboard top 200 following his death. Miler will be truly missed and not forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n
