Overview
- Shelly Miles announced Adams’ death live on his Real Coffee with Scott Adams channel and read a prewritten message he had prepared for fans.
- Adams had disclosed in May 2025 that he had aggressive prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones and said this month his chances of recovery were essentially zero.
- He recently entered hospice care at home in Northern California as his health declined, according to Miles.
- In November he publicly asked President Trump to help expedite access to the FDA‑approved drug Pluvicto through Kaiser Permanente; Trump later posted a tribute praising him.
- Adams’ Dilbert, launched in 1989 and once in thousands of newspapers, largely lost mainstream syndication in 2023 after remarks widely condemned as racist, and he continued the strip online as Dilbert Reborn.
