Mac Miller's death: Merchant who supplied rapper with counterfeit drugs 50

A drug dealer who supplied counterfeit oxycodone drugs that led to the death of rapper Mac Miller has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison. Ryan Reavis, 38, is one of three men charged in Miller's death.

He pleaded guilty in November to a fentanyl distribution charge. His lawyer described him as a "runner" and claimed he did not know the pills contained fentanyl, an opioid 50 times more potent than heroin.

Prosecutors allege he was acting under the direction of another man, Stephen Andrew Walter, when he handed the pills to Cameron James Petti, who allegedly later sold them to Miller.

Miller, whose legal name was Malcolm James McCormick, was found dead at his home on September 7, 2018. Miller died of "mixed drug toxicity" that includes cocaine, fentanyl and alcohol, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office. He had a history of drug and alcohol abuse but had not overdosed before.

Reavis was sentenced to 131 months - or 10 years and 11 months - in prison. He will also be on supervised release for three years.
