John Singleton, whose powerful debut film, “Boyz N the Hood,” earned him an Oscar nomination for best director, the first for an African-American, died on Monday in Los Angeles. He was 51.
His death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was confirmed in a family statement after he was taken off life support. Mr. Singleton had been admitted to the hospital on April 17, reportedly after having a stroke. His family said he had a history of hypertension.

RIP. Died too young.
Boyz N the Hood and Baby Boy are great movies.

Strokes are awful. Very sad. Great director.

Rest In Peace.

Damn, that's young. RIP. Boyz in the Hood is a classic.

He was also co-creator and executive producer of Snowfall, currently running FX series. Anyone check it out?

2 Fast 2 Furious is underrated.

Dang. Get your blood pressure under control everyone. I’m on BP meds and I’m not even clinically overweight anymore.

I really should watch my sodium intake.

That's so young, fuck. A reminder to stay compliant with your diabetes and monitoring your blood pressure. Never adding more salt to your meal. Exercising regularly. Going to the doctor if you have heart palpitations - since he seemed pretty healthy I will presume he had underlying atrial fibrillation and did not know it. Tragic. Rip.
