Mac Miller, the rapper whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, died from an accidental drug overdose caused by mixed drug toxicity involving fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol. He was found unresponsive in his home on September 7, 2018, and was pronounced dead at the scene. The death was ruled an accident by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
The drugs that caused his death were counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, which Mac Miller had ingested shortly before his death. Investigations led to the arrest and sentencing of several men involved in supplying these drugs to him.
