(8 Sep 2018) CORONER'S VAN LEAVES HOME OF RAPPER MAC MILLER, DEAD AT 26
Mac Miller, the platinum hip-hop star whose rhymes vacillated from party raps to lyrics about depression and drug use, and earned kudos from the likes of Jay-Z and Chance the Rapper, has died at the age of 26.
His family said in a statement that Miller died Friday (07SEPT.2018) but gave no further details. ``He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans,'' the statement said.   
Miller, who also drew headlines for his two-year relationship with singer Ariana Grande that ended earlier this year, apparently died in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles police said they responded to a report of a deceased person at a home on the same block where Miller is listed as a resident, and had turned the case over to the coroner's office. The coroner's office said it did not have any details it could release.
While Miller didn't have a hit on Top 40 radio, he had a strong following on streaming networks and even had an album debut at No. 1 on the top 200 albums chart. He often alluded to his battles with addiction over the years and had collaborations with numerous performers, including Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne and Ty Dolla $ign.
He released his fifth, full-length album ``Swimming'' last month, with Variety calling it ``a simple, stately, poetic autobiography.'' Rolling Stone called it ``silky, deep vibe redolent of the L.A. alternative soul scene.'' New Musical Express said it was ``his best work in years.''
The album included the song ``Come Back to Earth,'' with Miller trying to chart his way through tough times: ``In my own way, I feel like living some alternate reality/And I was drowning, but now I'm swimming through stressful waters to relief.''
He was due to start a tour at the end of next month that he promised would be special every night. On Thursday he tweeted: ``I just wanna  go on tour.''
