The family of John Singleton, the director, producer and screenwriter behind the 1991 film “Boyz N the Hood,” has said that they have directed doctors to remove him from life support on today after he suffered a stroke earlier this month.

The family’s statement reads as follows:

“It is with heavy hearts we announce that our beloved son, father and friend, John Daniel Singleton will be taken off of life support today,” said the statement, which was released by Singleton’s publicist around 10 a.m. Pacific time. “This was an agonizing decision, one that our family made, over a number of days, with the careful counsel of John’s doctors.”
