Paul Allen, an entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, has died.
Allen died Monday at the age of 65, his website Vulcan confirmed Monday. A cause of death wasn't immediately available.
Allen, a survivor of Hodgkin's disease, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2009. Earlier this month, Allen announced on his website that the disease had returned but that he was going to fight it aggressively and was optimistic.
"I am very grateful for the support I've received from my family and friends," Allen wrote. "And I've appreciated the support of everyone on the teams and in the broader community in the past, and count on that support now as I fight this challenge."
