Nate Dogg, the rapper who scored a worldwide hit with Warren G on 'Regulate', has died at the age of 41.
The Associated Press reports that Nate Dogg, real name Nathaniel D Hale, died of complications arising from multiple strokes.
The former US Marine suffered his first stroke in 2007 and a second the following year, but his manager Rod McGrew told TMZ.com that he had been making good progress and his death was unexpected.
In a statement, McGrew said: "We appreciate the enormous outpouring of response from all over the world. We greatly appreciate that and thank everyone for their prayers and support. We know that Nate will be hanging out with his good friends 2Pac and Biggie."
Among the other artists Nate Dogg collaborated with were Eminem, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Nelly, Eve, Ludacris and Mark Ronson.
