Grant Imahara, an electrical engineer and roboticist who hosted the popular science show MythBusters and Netflix's White Rabbit Project, has died. He was 49.

Imahara died suddenly following a brain aneurysm, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. "We are heartbroken to hear this sad news about Grant. He was an important part of our Discovery family and a really wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family," a representative for Discovery said in a statement on Monday.

An electrical engineer and roboticist by training, he joined Discovery's MythBusters in its third season, replacing Scottie Chapman and was with the show until 2014 when he left with co-hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci. The trio would reunite in 2016 for Netflix's White Rabbit Project which lasted for one season. On MythBusters, Imahara used his technical expertise to design and build robots for the show and also operated the computers and electronics needed to test myths.

Dude was genuinely enthused about science and was such a great presence on that show.

Bloody brain aneurysms. I hate those things. They're impossible to predict, and there's nothing anyone can do about them. One of my co-workers lost her daughter that way. Nineteen years old, and the poor girl just dropped dead in the shower.

It is a well-known fact that those people who want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams

Doomsday: It's been 7 months since anyone posted in this thing so I need to ask, Batman Returns is definitely a Christmas movie right? Nov 27, 2022 0:55:28 GMT -5

Doomsday: Yeah, lots of threads aren't available. I saw that you responded to the thread but haven't been able to open it so can't see what you wrote. I assume it's a doosey. Jan 15, 2023 12:57:04 GMT -5

scottysair: Hey guys, thought you would like to see this. It's very interesting movie. www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/1269586-exclusive-bunker-clip Feb 23, 2023 16:11:09 GMT -5
