Mac Miller: Medical Examiner Says Cause of Death Is a Mystery ...
Last week, fans were stunned to learn that Mac Miller had passed away at the age of 26.
Though it was reported as an apparent drug overdose, police did not really find evidence of that when they searched the late rapper’s home.
And now his death certificate has come back … with no real answers for his fans and loved ones.
TMZ reports that the L.A. County medical examiner’s report has come back on Mac Miller, but it’s not giving people the closure that they seek.
Right now, Miller’s cause of death is “deferred.”
That means that the medical examiner is still unprepared to rule on his official cause of death.
Naturally, the office is awaiting the results of Miller’s toxicology panel. We imagine that they will leave no stone unturned as they test for substances.
Unfortunately, that may take a while. TMZ notes that toxicology results tend to take 4 to 6 weeks to come back.
So the world will have to wait until October, most likely, for confirmation of Miller’s cause of death and that much needed closure.
But issuing a death certificate before the toxicology results come back is no fool’s errand — it has a purpose.
TMZ notes that the release of this document means that Miller’s family can obtain the body and make plans to bury, cremate, or otherwise lay him to rest.
It also means that the medical examiner probably did not find anything suspicion during the examination — no odd fractures or ligature marks that might indicate that Miller’s death was merely staged to resemble an overdose.
While the toxicology results will hopefully bring the family a degree of closure, the certificate will allow them to honor his memory and his death.
As we mentioned, police searched Miller’s home, but did not find what you’d expect to see in the home of a man with a substance abuse problem.
Police found only a small amount of white powder, but did not find drugs, pill bottles, or drug paraphernalia.
Reaching the natural conclusion that Miller did not clean his house, then overdose, they came to believe that someone purged Miller’s home of all drugs before police had the chance to do a sweep.
It seems most likely that a well-intentioned friend of Miller’s hoped to avoid awkwardness or embarrassment for Miller’s family and memory.
But, in general, it’s best to let investigators see as much evidence as possible when someone has died.
Miller was last seen alive on the night of Thursday, Septeber 6. He had friends at his home.
He was scheduled for a video shoot on Friday, but was found unresponsive that day, resulting in a 9-1-1 call at around noon.
Emergency responders arrived, but pronounced him dead at the scene.
It is unclear exactly when he may have passed away, but so far, no one has come forward to claim that they saw him alive after Thursday night.
This is heartbreaking for his fans, his friends, and most of all, for his closest loved ones.
Unfortunately, some people had the sheer audacity to blame Ariana Grande for Mac Miller’s death.
These awful trolls claimed that if Ariana had simply continued to date him as some sort of human emotional support blanket, he would still be alive.
Ariana’s responsibility is to live her own life. She dated Miller for two years, but ultimately his substance abuse problems played a huge role in their breakup.
The fact that she moved on and found happiness with Pete Davidson does not in any way make her responsible for Miller’s death.
Miller wasn’t the victim of a breakup. He was the victim of addiction.

Derick Dillard: TLC Refused to Pay My Son"s Medical Bills!
Here we go again.
Now that Derick Dillard has been fired by TLC, he seems to have an awful lot of time on his hands.
And unfortunately for all of us, he’s decided to fill his idle hours with obnoxious social media tirades.
One would think that Derick might have learned his lesson about venting his frustrations on Twitter.
After all, it was an online tirade directed at Jazz Jennings that got Derick canned in the first place.
But it seems Der’s Twitter fingers remain itchy, and he just can’t help himself from engaging in the sort of public debates that never change anyone’s mind, and serve zero purpose except to bring him further attention.
Sometimes he hides his aggression with passivity such as when he invited Jazz out for coffee earlier this week.
(What teenage girl doesn’t want to grab a latte with the grown-ass man who’s been harassing her on social media?!)
Derick is very easily baited, and fans seem to be having fun rattling his cage these days:
“Your job is to protect your kids, not use them as meal tickets,” one follower tweeted at Dillard earlier this week.
“Does that mean I shouldn’t have gotten the hospital lunch while my son was in the NICU for two weeks?” Derick responded in what appears to be an attempt at humor.
Now, this is the first time that Derick revealed baby Samuel was in the NICU after his birth, but that revelation was quickly overshadowed by Derick griping about how TLC didn’t cover the unexpected hospital bills:
“We even requested that they help with some of the medical expenses from the birth that they made a pretty penny on, but they refused to help cover any of those costs,” he tweeted.
“It was close to a year before we made the last medical payment.”
Fans, understandably, were not outraged by the fact that Derick’s former employer – who pays millions to his family each yeat – does feel compelled to cover every surprise expense that arises in his life:
“Welcome to the real world, that is how it is done,” one person commented.
“Most of us plan our families around the ability cover medical costs, food, shelter, clothing, etc. TLC paid you for appearing on the show. It isn’t their responsibility to pay costs from choices your family made, failed home birth.”
“Wait. They asked TLC/the production company to pay them money over and above what was spelled out in their contract? That’s… not how it works,” wrote another.
“Man, he is really salty about being fired,” remarked a third.
We imagine Jim Bob’s not too thrilled with all this, as his official stance has always been that the family’s primary objective in becoming television stars was to spread their spiritual message, not get rich.
He’s always maintained that the money is just a bonus that he and his many children could take or leave.
Needless to say, the revelation that Derick is still stamping his feet over the fact that a cable network didn’t pay for his son’s medical bills kind of runs counter to the “salt of the earth” image Jim Bob has worked so hard to cultivate.
Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family, and log on to Twitter anytime to watch Derick slowly lose his mind.
