NEW YORK: Director John Singleton, who made the Oscar-nominated “Boyz N the Hood” has died. He was 51.

Singleton’s family said Monday that he died in Los Angeles, surrounded by family and friends, after being taken off life support. Earlier this month, the director suffered a major stroke.

He was the first black director to receive an Academy Award nomination, an honor he would say was compensation for the academy’s snubbing Lee and “Do the Right Thing” two years earlier, and was nominated for best screenplay.

At 24, he was also the youngest director nominee in Oscar history. (Agencies)
