Oscar‑nominated director John Singleton ‑ known for films including Boyz N The Hood and his remake of detective movie Shaft ‑ has died at the age of 51.

A family statement confirmed the influential film-maker fell ill in hospital last Wednesday and had been admitted to intensive care.                                         

Born in Los Angeles, Singleton acted as a trailblazer for African‑American directors throughout the 1990s.

In 1992, he became the youngest Oscar‑nominated director for Boyz N The Hood.
