The music world was rocked late last week with news of Mac Miller's sudden passing. Now, a report confirms that the rapper's cause of death is still unclear following an autopsy.

As the Associated Press reports, Los Angeles County coroner's spokesperson Sarah Ardalani said that investigators have performed an autopsy, but Miller's official cause of death is still unknown.

At this point, investigators still need to wait for the results of toxicology tests, and those could take several weeks or even months. However, Miller's body has now been released to his family, the spokesperson said.

As previously reported, Miller was found unresponsive Friday (September 7) in his home in the San Fernando Valley, CA. According to early reports by TMZ, Miller died of an apparent overdose. He was 26.

Friend and collaborator J.Cole paid tribute to Miller during a Friday night performance in Las Vegas.
