Former Death row artist, and infamous hook singer Nate Dogg has sadly passed away, his family announced last night. The cause of death is unknown at present, but poor Nate - Nathaniel D. Hale, had been suffering with serious health complications over the past few years. He had a stroke in 2007, followed by another in 2008 which left him paralyzed on the left side of his body. He was said to have been undergoing physical therapy to regain his strength, and it was possible - once well, that he may have returned to singing.
