The “Dilbert” creator, 68, is reportedly in hospice at his home in Northern California, his first ex-wife, Shelly Miles, told TMZ on Monday.

Miles, who was married to the legendary cartoonist from 2006 to 2014, also informed the outlet that Adams began receiving “end-of-life care” at his home last week because his health was declining “rapidly.”

Although nurses have reportedly been “coming in and out” around the clock, Miles said that she, her sister and the “Dilbert” creator’s stepdaughter, Savannah, have been helping to care for Adams in his final days.

Very unfortunate. I’m glad he came to Christ.

If indeed America becomes great again, there are now two people who helped make it happen, who will have to watch from elsewhere: Limbaugh and Adams.

May he be at peace as he passes.

I’m sorry for him. What an awful thing to have to face and he seems to have courage doing so.

And I am glad he didn’t take euthanasia before receiving the Grace that allowed him to embrace Chritianity.

I’ll miss him. He really was the only person in my daily radio/podcast habit who came close to filling the void left by Rush Limbaugh’s death.

Did he say he was thinking of euthnasia?

Sorry to her that Scott Adams is in the final stages of life from his aggressive form of prostate cancer. But at the same token, I also pray that he goes quickly so that he can rest in peace.

I looked it up, and saw he was considering it last summer.

I've been joining Scott Adams and his Beloveds and Unbeloveds for our Simultaneous Sips the last 6 months thanks to Greg Gutfeld. I'm going to miss my Adams Family Brothers and Sipsters.

Hail and Farewell Scott Adams. And thank you to Shelly for being there for Scott. And thank you for Shelly's husband for being man enough to let her be there for him.

Thank you for the laughs and insights, Scott. You knew people and the work they do far more than most professionals who dedicate their careers to it.

I’m still praying for a miraculous recovery or remission for you! In Jesus’ name!

Yes. He said he was on the verge of taking the cocktail until President Trump called him and said he would do everything he could to see that Scott received every possible treatment available.

Did he make a profession of faith? I don’t see that in the article.
