The controversial cartoonist Scott Adams, best known as the creator of the long-running strip Dilbert, has died at the age of 68. His death was announced by his former wife, Shelly Miles, during a YouTube livestream. Adams had been open about his battle with metastatic prostate cancer, sharing his diagnosis in May 2025 and stating that he only had months to live.
The news of his passing brings to a close a long and turbulent final chapter of his life, which included a very public plea for medical help. In November 2025, Adams took to X after experiencing delays in receiving treatment for an FDA-approved cancer drug called Pluvicto due to health insurance issues. He publicly requested assistance from President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
