Randy Pausch cancer update 2008: Randy Pausch, 47, has died.

Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose “last lecture” about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book, died early Friday at his home in Virginia, university spokeswoman Anne Watzman said.

In August 2006, Randy Pausch was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. He pursued a very aggressive cancer treatment, however, he was told in August 2007, the cancer had metastasized to his liver and spleen, which meant it was terminal.

His popular last lecture at Carnegie Mellon in September 2007 garnered international attention and was viewed by millions on the Internet.
