American rap star, Nate Dogg, has died at the age of 41. The cause of
death was reported by his attorney as complications from two strokes
that Nate Dogg, whose real name is Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, had suffered
in the past few years. During his career, Hale collaborated with several
big names including Eminem, Dr Dre, and Ludacris.

Rapper and actor Snoop Dogg who went to school with Hale paid tribute to
his friend on Twitter, "We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb. One of my
best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly
high where we met. I love u buddy luv. U will always b wit me 4ever n a

Hale started his rap career in the early 1990's, and formed rap trio 213
with Snoop Dogg and Warren G in 1991. After collaborating with several
of rap's big names including the late Tupac Shakur, Hale went on to
released three of his own albums. In December 2007, he was left
paralyzed down one side of his body after a stroke. He suffered a second
stroke in September 2008.
