September 15th, 2008 | Author: Slava Kuperstein

West Coast legend Nate Dogg has suffered his second stroke in less than ten months and is in serious condition, reported several media outlets.

Sources report that Nate Dogg cannot currently breathe on his own.

The singer suffered his first stroke last December, which became public knowledge in January [click to read]. Reports later confirmed that Nate Dogg was partially paralyzed on his left side. Doctors were optimistic that he would make a recovery.

In May, rumors of Nate Dogg's death from complications due to the first stroke were dismissed by his manager, Rod McCrew, who stated that the hook man's recovery was going well.

Cousin: Nate Dogg Was on Life Support

The Prodigal Son is ailing again. And we're now learning that his condition was much graver than previously reported.

West Coast rapper Nate Dogg was hospitalized nearly two weeks ago after suffering a stroke, his second in less than a year.

But contrary to Internet news stories that offered an upbeat prognosis, a family member tells E! News that as of Wednesday the 39-year-old hip-hopster was on life support in a Los Angeles-area hospital with a feeding tube in his mouth.

"He has suffered another stroke from his bad eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle," says Donald Smith, Dogg's cousin and a fellow emcee who goes by the moniker Lil' Half Dead. "All we can do now is pray for him."

Dogg has since been taken off life support but as of today still requires a feeding tube, according to Smith.

The rapper, whose real name is Nathaniel Hale, was stricken on Sept. 5. Earlier this week, manager Rod McGrew told the hip-hop news site SOHH "the prognosis at this time is favorable. We're positive, prayerful, hopeful and patient." Citing unnamed sources, TMZ offered a starker assessment, saying that while Dogg did not suffer any brain damage, he has exhibited little movement below the neck.

The MC, a cousin of Snoop Dogg who made his debut on Dr. Dre's 1992 album The Chronic before signing with Death Row Records, was first felled by a stroke on Dec. 19, leaving him partially paralyzed.

Dogg had continued his recovery in physical therapy, but still relied on the use of a wheelchair.

"He was making excellent progress with his recovery from the first stroke," said McGrew. "This is an unfortunate setback. We welcome all prayers in support of Nate's recovery but we would appreciate privacy."

The rapper's condition will undoubtedly force a Compton judge to postpone a Sept. 24 hearing in which Dogg faces felony charges for threatening and stalking his estranged wife
