LOS ANGELES (KDKA/AP) - A coroner has ruled Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller's death an accidental overdose due to a combination of drugs and alcohol.

A Los Angeles County coroner's report released Monday named the 26-year-old Miller's cause of death as "mixed toxicity," saying cocaine, alcohol and the powerful opioid fentanyl were found in his system.

Last month, the 26-year-old was found unresponsive at his California home and was pronounced dead at the scene.
