Prior to his passing, the musician had public substance abuse issues that made headlines recently.

Following his split from Ariana Grande back in May, Miller was arrested for misdemeanor DUI later that month, the LAPD told Access at the time.

The LAPD previously revealed that he was involved in a traffic collision in the San Fernando Valley, when he ran his car into a power pole. His blood alcohol level was .15 according to TMZ, and the legal limit while operating a vehicle in California is .08.

He also spoke about his past addiction to lean (promethazine) in a 2013 interview with Complex.

“I was so f***ed up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn’t even look at me the same. I was lost,” he added.
