Western Manitoba reacted to the loss of Naya Rivera and Keyyl Preston yesterday. And now this morning, news of another celebrity gone to soon. This time from a popular cable TV show. Grant Imahara, an electrical engineer turned “MythBusters” co-host is dead. The 49-year-old died yesterday, reportedly after a brain aneurysm. Imahara first appeared on the Discovery show in its third season and stayed until 2014, when he left along with co-hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci. The three joined back up for one season of the 2016 Netflix show “White Rabbit Project.”
Imahara also worked for nearly a decade with Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic and THX, working on models and effects on films like the “Star Wars” prequels, “The Matrix Reloaded” and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.” Former “Mythbusters” co-host Adam Savage reacted to the new s on Twitter, saying, “I’m at a loss.”
