I gave up on the news years ago. The news only exists to bring you BAD news. It's bad enough with the usual top storylines of local rapes, murders, fires, shootings, et cetera... now, on top of that, we get nothing but horrible political fighting, COVID-19, and the occasional spate of dead famous people (like the past few days, with the chick from "Glee", Travolta's wife, and now Grant). I figure, between this place, Facebook, and Instagram, I already find out enough bad news quickly enough...

Speaking of COVID, I know they're starting to realize this thing does some weird shit (lung issues, vein issues, strokes). Who knows, maybe he had it and was asymptomatic. At this point, anything short of a bullet I'm attributing to coronavirus...

Agreed. Let me rephrase. It's hard finding the line between staying informed and to much BS when it comes to the news.

I was wondering the same thing when it came to underlying health issues

Oh damn. I used to love that show.

RIP, cool robotics guy.

He's also the guy who created Geoff the Robot on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show.

RIP

Well shit. First Kelly Preston and now Grant. RIP Mr. Imahara. Truly going to miss you.

See, to me, they aren't terrifying at all. I hope I die that way. Don't know it is coming and bam, dirt nap time.

2 days, 2 celebrities killed by their most outstanding trait.

Kelly Prestons cans and Grant Imahara's brain.

If the rumors of Ron Jeremy's dexterity are true, he'd probably be well served to avoid that particular activity for a bit...

Unfortunately, this one wasn't quick.

This was posted by his girlfriend:

"On the evening of July 11, Grant Imahara suffered a brain aneurysm and was admitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he had emergency surgery. Grant had been experiencing painful migraines for the past few days and, while we were having dinner in his home, the pain worsened. He felt dizzy, had severe neck and back pain, numbness in his legs, and was unresponsive at times. I called the paramedics at 9:14PM. Upon arrival, they checked Grant’s vitals, which appeared normal, but he was clearly in pain, so he was helped up the steps of his home and taken into an ambulance just before 10PM.

On July 12, Grant had another operation that went smoothly, but remained unresponsive and in stable, but critical condition. Today, July, 13, Grant went in for an MRI in preparation for another surgery, at which point they discovered the extent of the damage. He was wholly unresponsive and the decision was made to take him off life support."
