Rapper "Eminem" Dies in Car Accident.
Multi-platinum artist Marshall Mathers, known by the stage name
"Eminem", was killed at 2:30AM EST while driving a rental car on his
way to a late-night party. 
Mathers, who authorities believe was under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, was behind the wheel of a Saturn coupe that witnesses say
swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle, then lost control and slammed
into a grove of trees. 
The car was crumpled by the impact, making extraction of Mather's body
very difficult. He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics who
arriced a short time later. 
Authorities would not comment on details surrounding the accident
other than to confirm the identity of the victim. 
Mathers was 26.
