Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Tuesday.
Dayton, 69, collapsed while delivering a state of the state address in front of a joint session of the states legislature on Monday night.

Dayton said he received the diagnosis on Friday, and that he would undergo further testing after collapsing on Monday.
