Young rapper suffered stroke

It is unfortunate when anyone has a stroke but it is especially tragic when the victim is a seemingly healthy, 39 year old music star. Sources close to Nate Dogg, a prominent rapper and MC are confirming that he suffered a stroke in December of 2007 and is still recovering. A link to the full story is below. This is an unfortunate reminder that young people are not immune. Stroke does not discriminate by race or age, making it an issue for all of us. We wish him a speedy recovery.
