He was 26. “Mac was a hugely gifted and inspiring artist, with a pioneering spirit and a sense of humor that touched everyone he met,” Tom Corson, Co-Chairman and COO of Warner Bros. Records, shared in a statement with TIME. “Mac’s death is a devastating loss and cuts short a life and a talent of huge potential, where the possibilities felt limitless.” The Los Angeles Police Department told TIME that they responded to the 11600 block of Valleycrest Road to investigate a death at around 11:50 a.m. on Friday, but would not say it was Miller’s death they were investigating. Miller, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, was originally from Pittsburgh, PA. He began his career as a rapper as a teen, and his independent 2011 debut album _Blue Slide Park_ went on to top the [_Billboard_](https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/465110/mac-miller-moves-in-at-no-1-on-billboard-200) 200 album chart, putting him on the map at an early age. His most recent album _Swimming_ also garnered [positive reviews](https://www.metacritic.com/music/swimming/mac-miller), reaching number three on the _Billboard_ 200\. It was his fifth album, following 2016’s [_The Divine Feminine_](http://time.com/collection-post/4575319/top-10-best-songs-2016/item/dang-feat-anderson-paak-mac-miller/). In his songs, Miller was recognized for his understated delivery and silky production; recent hits include soul-searching tracks “Self Care” and “What’s the Use?” Miller dated high-profile pop star [Ariana Grande](http://time.com/5384105/ariana-grande-aretha-funeral/) from August 2016 to May 2018, according to [PEOPLE](https://people.com/music/ariana-grande-mac-miller-split/). Miller was vocal in his music and in interviews [about his drug use](https://www.complex.com/music/2013/01/mac-miller-2013-online-cover-story). “Nine times out of ten I get it wrong,” he rapped reflectively on _Swimming_ track “Small Worlds.” “That’s why I wrote this song, told myself to hold on… Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed, but the sun’s coming out now, clouds start to move.” Responding to online criticism following the split, Grande [addressed](https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/999314187384901633) his addiction issues as well. In May, he was [arrested](https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8471444/mac-miller-charged-dui-car-crash) following a DUI and hit and run charges in the L.A. area, after which he was released on bail.
