Dilbert’ Creator Scott Adams Enters Home Hospice, Family Says He Has Only Days Left

Family reports the 68-year-old ‘Dilbert’ creator entered home hospice last week following a rapid decline.

Overview

  • His first ex-wife, Shelly Miles, told TMZ he has been receiving end-of-life care at his Northern California home for about a week and likely has only days left.
  • Miles said she, her sister, and Adams’ stepdaughter Savannah are providing round-the-clock support with hospice nurses coming and going.
  • On Jan. 1, Adams told podcast listeners the odds of recovery were "essentially zero," citing loss of leg function and ongoing heart failure that makes breathing difficult.
  • Adams publicly disclosed metastatic prostate cancer in May 2025, said it had spread to his bones, and reported paralysis below the waist after radiation treatments.
  • Despite increasing confusion, he recently recorded what may be a final podcast episode addressing his deteriorating condition.
