Rochester Hills - A terminally ill Detroit-area teenager who was surprised by a visit from rapper Eminem has died.

Connection Executive Director Mary Grace McCarter said on Tuesday that
the parents of 17-year-old Gage Garmo told her that he died on Monday in
their Rochester Hills home.
Gage had a wish fulfilled when Detroit native Eminem stopped by Sunday evening.

The Detroit Free Press says the pair sat in the family's living room talking about hip-hop and football.
Gage was diagnosed with bone cancer three years ago, when he was a freshman at Rochester High School.
Friends and classmates used social media to
spread Gage's wish to meet Eminem, his musical hero, after he learnt
last week that he had just days left to live.
Michigan-based charity Rainbow Connection set up the meeting.
