Nate Dogg is not dead, CMU confirms

Reports that Nate Dogg had died were false, with the rapper said to be recovering well from a stroke suffered at the end of last year after a website was hacked.

No CMU obituary for Nate Dogg, please note. There were rumours on the net earlier this week that the US hip hopper, who suffered a stroke at the end of last year, had died, but it has been confirmed that that is very much not the case, and he is, in fact, proceeding well with his recovery. The website where the story seems to have originated from are saying someone hacked into their site to post the story - which seems a bit morbid, hacking into a website to declare a recuperating hip hop star to be dead - but we do live in a strange world.
