So did the crew know when they filmed the stream on the 4th?

that was on the 3rd and likely before it happened.

Well it all sucks regardless of how it happened. So sorry for wanting to know how he died.

He will be greatly missed regardless of how he died. It's just hard to deal with right now. I feel like I lost a friend.

Everyone wants to know how he went.

Fuck man, besides his wife, Jeff must be devastated. They've known each other for forever.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #63 on:** July 08, 2013, 02:43:49 PM »

Patrick lost his father last year near the 4th and now this year he loses one of his best friends :\

Philip Cardgage · « **Reply #64 on:** July 08, 2013, 02:44:30 PM »

Jeff lost his dad, or almost did too, didn't he?

His father was hospitalized last year when CBS bought GB. He's still alive though.

Yes, Greg Miller, I don't know the current status on that though

No clue on cause of death. Everyone is pointing at his weight, but of course nobody has said anything or knows anything.

If it was a heart attack, wouldn't they just say he had a heart attack?

you rarely get heart attacks at 34 years of age either. Maybe he overdosed something?

I think most people feel like they know the GiantBomb guys very well. Its part of the appeal along with the aspect of them having brought a lot of entertainment along with being relatively young. All that tends to add up to strong feelings. I kinda felt like Giantbomb was the videogame equivalent of mst3k.

It's only been a couple of days, and when you just come upon someone that's dead, they need to do an autopsy first and get the results back, and that takes a little time.

Or, he was totally murdered by the CIA. That's definitely it.

I don't really care how he died and its not like the family has to say anything. He was way overweight. This was a dude who when they spent a day demo'ing the kinect was so winded and out of shape that he missed work afterwards because he threw his back out. He was not a healthy guy which means it could have been lots of stuff or stuff related to dealing with his unhealthiness.

that kinect day was amazing

SantaC · « **Reply #78 on:** July 08, 2013, 03:33:01 PM »

the bad thing about cancer is that it can always come back even if you beat it :/

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #79 on:** July 08, 2013, 03:33:34 PM »

He's probably a nice guy but I tried watching that IGN show with Greg Miller one time and it was fucking the worst thing ever.

I'm not too surprised. He had to weigh over 350 pounds and was sweating just talking in front of a camera for the GOTY 2012 videos.

Still a shame, GB is great and the site will definitely take a hit.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #86 on:** July 08, 2013, 04:04:06 PM »

He was 2 years younger than me $:-\$

Granted he probably weighed at least 90 lbs more than me but this is still a pretty big wake up call, man.

Philip Cardgage · « **Reply #87 on:** July 08, 2013, 04:04:19 PM »

He looks so happy in his wedding pics.

I guess that's a good way to go out.

Have the happiest day of your life be your last.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #93 on:** July 08, 2013, 04:41:19 PM »

Totally called him dying this soon, could probably pull up my post history where I said in his 30's or 40's. He obviously had terrible eating habits and a sedentary hobby only accelerated his condition.

why am i getting an ad for "4 things you will feel just before a heart attack" under the obituary piece on giant bomb?

anyway, major bummer. was just getting back on a bombcast kick, too.

That's what it looks like. Though nobody has come forward, and I really don't see them doing that for a while yet, if at all.

No one's gonna know what happened until someone tells. Might not have had anything to do with his weight. He may have had an allergic reaction to something he took to help him sleep. May not have been any one reason. Sometimes people just die out of the blue.

There's always some sort of contributing factor unless it's an aneurysm or something else amounting to nothing but rotten luck.

If you're scurred - go to a doctor and have him shove objects in your ass. A Gym will not tell you what a Doctor could.

If I remember correctly he was hooked up to oxygen for a while now because of sleep apnea or something. Might be related.

Wow, that's slightly less shitty than the theory he was doing pills. Isn't that cure-able in regards to surgery? Ah, not "cure"d per say but could possibly be eliminated or reduced through surgery. I wonder why a doctor didn't go that route if it was a problem for him that he had to have oxygen when he was sleeping.

Surgery? Sleep apnea has very close ties to obesity. I'm not sure why we're beating around the bush here. Let this be a call to arms for nerds everywhere.

brob · « **Reply #116 on:** July 08, 2013, 06:33:22 PM »

my uncle uses a machine to help him breathe when he sleeps, and he's looked into surgery and said it wouldn't be all that helpful. My uncle ain't overweight though, so dunno if he had the same issue as Ryan.
