Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller was reportedly dead for hours before cops discovered his body. New reports claim he had died long before having his body taken in.
According to reports, Miller was dead in his bedroom following a party hours prior.
Law enforcement sources tell us … when cops and paramedics arrived at the rapper’s home last Friday, it was clear he had died long before they got there. TMZ broke the story … friends came over the night before Mac died to hang out, and we’re told they stayed until the early hours of Friday morning, Sept. 7. Mac’s body was found Friday around noon.
