Radio shock jock Don Imus, one of pioneers of his genre, died Friday less than two-years after retiring, according to a family statement given to NBC New-York. He was 79. He died Friday after being hospitalized at the Baylor-Scott and White-Medical-Center in College-Station, Texas, his family said. The cause-of-death was not divulged, but early this year Imus said on air that he had prostate-cancer.
