The family for John Singleton said the Oscar-nominated filmmaker died Monday after he was taken off life support after suffering a stroke almost two weeks ago.
"This was an agonizing decision, one that our family made, over a number of days, with the careful counsel of John's doctors," read the statement.
The 51-year-old director of "Boyz in the Hood," ''Poetic Justice" and other films was in intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital since he had a stroke on April 17.
Singleton was nominated for an Oscar for 1991's "Boyz N the Hood." His recent projects include the TV series "Snowfall."
