Beastie Boys" rapper MCA -- real name Adam Yauch -- has died. In
2009, MCA announced he was being treated for a cancerous parotid gland
and a lymph node. He has since undergone surgery and radiation therapy. So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer. Russell
Simmons' website GlobalGrind.com first reported the death. We have
spoken to people independently connected to the rapper who also say he
is dead.
