    Monty Oum (1981 - 2015)

    Found out about it today and seemed like there was no threads about it when I searched for it here so welp

    R.I.P. Monty Oum

    Originally posted by wikipedia
    On January 30, 2015, Oum was hospitalized following a severe allergic reaction during a routine medical procedure that rendered him comatose. Rooster Teeth co-founder Burnie Burns stated that Oum was "in critical care and it is not known if he will recover". A donation page was set up for the medical expenses on GoFundMe; the goal of $50,000 was reached within three hours, with the fundraiser reaching $100,000 in four hours, and $150,000 within 24 hours. On February 1, 2015, Oum died as a result of the allergic reaction. He was 33 years old.


    He was the creator of RWBY and was involved in Red vs. Blue, and was with Rooster Teeth since 2007. R.I.P. Monty, we'll miss you man.

      So he was in a coma from an allergic reaction then died from another reaction?
      Seems like malpractice to me.

      Met him at a RWBY event attached to some con and he was a pretty cool guy, sucks to hear he passed.

          I was actually going to also say this sort of sounds like malpractice.

          My heart goes out for him.

                Apologies for the bump for something like this, but I do think it's merited:

                I will be the first to admit that I do not follow RWBY in the slightest; however, those of you who do and are big fans of Monty Oum may find this reading by ex-RT animator Shane Newville a bit... upsetting to read: (WARNING: RWBY SPOILERS) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-H...w?pref=2&pli=1

                Original post on Twitter if this is something that you'd like to share: https://twitter.com/shanenewville/st...08092317888512

                Not sure if it's shown up on other mediums yet, but I'm a huge fan of signal-boosting something like this. Found this posted on Facebook by a friend and I feel like this should be put on a spotlight, at the least.

                  Whoa. Spoilers out the ASS in that open letter. Granted, I stopped watching after finishing Season 1, but goddamn.
