Man Charged in Connection to Mac Miller’s Death

LOS ANGELES — Prosecuters charged a Hollywood Hills man in connection with the death of Mac Miller, a hip-hop artist who died of a drug overdose almost one year ago.

A federal criminal complaint accuses Cameron James Pettit, 28, with supplying the rapper with fake oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl. Miller requested percocet, a prescription painkiller that contains oxycodone, from Pettit.

Miller was found unresponsive at his home on Sept. 7, 2018. His death was first believed to be an accidental overdose , and was later discovered that he died from an overdose of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl.
