No cause given. What the ####? Stopped me in my tracks. Was a huge fan of his.

Terrible news.


He was a huge Star Trek fan and was in some fan movies and shows. Seemed like a great guy.

This is a rough one.

He was my favorite Mythbuster host following Adam. You could tell he genuinely loved science and engineering and it came through the TV set. He definitely inspired a generation of kids to pursue a science career.

I haven’t watched MB in years but I remember the guy fondly. Seemed like a genuinely good individual who just enjoyed what he was doing. As seems to be the case, too young. Are there ever any signs when it comes to an aneurism?

This one was really shocking. One of my favorite TV personalities. The Myth Busters were all awesome. Grant will be missed.

Headache, eyelids drooping, double vision, pupils of unequal size are some of the more common aneurism symptoms. Obviously not a headache on its own, but a headache combined with any of these other symptoms should be taken as a really serious red flag.

Yes. And as far as I understand, an aneurysm is usually a pretty sudden physical event, usually pretty devastating. Not like there is a long term gradual onset of subtle leading indicators or symptoms weeks ahead.
