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

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...

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." |
