Law enforcement allegedly only found a small amount of white powder at Miller’s San Fernando Valley home, which sparked a theory that the home may have been “swept clean” of other drugs and/or drug paraphernalia.

Mac Miller’s cause of death has yet to officially be determined. A toxicology test could take weeks or even months according to Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesperson Sarah Ardalani. Coroners have already conducted an autopsy and released the body to the family.

Mac’s grandmother, Marcia Weiss, spoke at a vigil dedicated to Miller at Frick Park in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. “Everybody, he would be so excited, he wished he was here and I wish he was here,” Weiss said. “But he loves you all, he loves Pittsburgh and everything you have done for him. Thank you so much for everybody being here. You were wonderful.”
