The breakup of 26-year-old rapper Mac Miller's life was one of the most sensational events of 2018, ranking third in the top 10 most sought-after things on Google . To date, the cause of his death was thought to be overdose due to the toxicity of the mixture of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol. But recently a young man has been arrested and is being held responsible for the tragic incident.
Los Angeles prosecutors say Mac Miller thought he bought oxycodone - a painkiller - but in fact sold fentanyl, a drug about fifty times stronger than heroin.
Cameron James Petit, 28, of Los Angeles, was arrested as the main suspect distributing the substance in question. Prosecutors say evidence against Petit is also some of his messages sent shortly after the rapper's lifeless body was found. "I will most likely die in prison," he wrote to a friend.
Reuters reports that Petit appeared in a brief court hearing and is currently being held in custody. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
Mac Miller was found lifeless at his California home on September 7 of a year ago. The autopsy results were compiled three days after his death, though they were made public shortly thereafter.
In the past, Miller has been open about his fight against drug abuse. In August 2018, he told Vulture: ?I have often spoken of my truths, of the dark side I have experienced. This is life, all emotions must be experienced. ?
We remind you that Ariana Grande and Mac have been friends for 5 years and loved for two. Their bond became official in 2016 and ended in May 2018. She dedicated a post to Miller: "I respect and adore him immensely, and I am grateful to have him in my life in whatever form, without regretting the course our relationship has taken or what the universe has reserved for us." also calling her "one of her best friends and favorite person on the planet."
"I have adored you since the day I met you when I was 19, and I will always adore you. I can't believe you're not there anymore. I really can't get used to this idea. We've talked about it. So many times. I am very angry, very sad that I do not know what to do. You were my best friend. For a long time. Sorry I couldn't take your pain away. I really wanted to. The kindest, sweetest man with demons he never deserved. Hope you are fine now. Rest in peace, "Ariana wrote on Instagram, shortly after the 26-year-old rapper's death.
