On July 13, 2020, the world was shocked to learn of the sudden death of beloved roboticist and television host Grant Imahara. The cause of death was not immediately known, but now, more than a month later, we have some answers.
Grant Imahara was best known for his work on the television series MythBusters and the Netflix series White Rabbit Project. He was also a roboticist and engineer, having worked on projects for Lucasfilm, Walt Disney Imagineering, and Industrial Light & Magic.
Imahara’s cause of death has now been revealed to be a brain aneurysm. According to a statement from his family, Imahara had been experiencing headaches in the days leading up to his death, and a subsequent autopsy revealed that he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm.
A brain aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain that can rupture and cause bleeding in the brain. This can lead to a stroke, brain damage, and even death.
The exact cause of Imahara’s aneurysm is not known, but it is believed to be related to a pre-existing condition. Imahara had previously undergone surgery to remove a tumor from his pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. It is possible that this surgery may have weakened the blood vessels in the brain, leading to the aneurysm.
Imahara’s death has been a shock to the entertainment and robotics communities, and his family has asked for privacy during this difficult time. Imahara will be remembered for his work on MythBusters and White Rabbit Project, as well as his passion for robotics and engineering. He will be deeply missed.
