Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen dies at 65
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who had been suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer, passed away at the age of 65 on Monday, his family said.
Allen had said earlier this month that he had started treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the same type of cancer he overcame nine years ago.
Born in Seattle, Allen attended Washington State University for two years before dropping out to co-found Microsoft in 1975 with Bill Gates, a friend of his from high school.
Allen, who left Microsoft in 1983, set up investment firm Vulcan Inc. in 1986 to manage his multibillion-dollar portfolio.
