'Jeopardy!' champ Brayden Smith, who competed on Alex Trebek's final shows, is dead at 24

That's a rough looking 24.

So many of us watched the last shows Trebek hosted.

In some newspapers' obituaries, when someone does "unexpectedly" but no cause is given, it's code for suicide, Not saying that's the case here, but it is a policy at some papers.

^^ . . . when someone dies "unexpectedly" . . . ^^ Sorry.

No shit.

[quote] What was Brayden Smith's cause of death? It has been reported that Smith died from natural causes. It has since been stated by the Las Vegas Journal Review that his passing followed complications from surgery, after he was hospitalized for days. According to TMZ, who quoted a family member, Brayden had suffered a medical emergency, and died of natural causes.

See link and consider the sources...

I'm sorry R1, your answer must be in the form of a question.

We would've accepted "Isn't that a rough looking 24?"

After winning $115K, we better not see a GoFundMe page for help with funeral costs.

He is now home with the Lord.

^^Maybe the lord wanted some of that money.

I remember watching him. I thought he was cute. I woulda fucked him. No chance now.

"Brayden"? Sounds like a name for a donkey.

You probably have a better chance now than then.

[quote] He is survived by his parents and brothers Bryce, Brock, Bronk and Brody.

Jesus Christ, did his mom want them all to grow up to be porn stars or to form a stripper troupe?

Bronk? JFC!

I wonder if “Bronk” is like the Slavic “Branko”

Surgery for a 24 year old young man sounds like it could have been a gall bladder or appendix issue gone wrong.

Although rare, some people do have complications after any surgery.

Link is adblocked.

He was such a fuckable nerd.

Darn

R17 Appendicitis is very common in his age range, and appendectomies are a fairly routine surgery, mostly done via laparoscopic, which greatly reduces complications.

I suspect the poor guy delayed seeking care for abdominal pain, which led to a burst appendix (faecal matter enters the abdominal cavity leading to sepsis).

What is gone too soon for $400, Alex.

Sorry, sorry.

We were looking for “dayd dude,” r21.

If it were an appendectomy, the family would have said so. It’s odd that the family has been so secretive about it

Sorry, but I can't imagine a lawyer named "Brayden."

It's not uncommon for patients to die from hernia surgery complications.

R25, It’s uncommon to die from a hernia surgery

R25 Hernia surgery won't be performed on those with health conditions that lead to bad outcomes. Alternative treatments will be used instead. Hernia surgery has a very low death rate.

I nearly died from a hernia operation--started bleeding internally right afterwards and had to be rushed back into surgery. It's a serious procedure and they often don't warn you properly about that.
