Erik Gates Mythbusters Picture | Eric Gates Dies

**Eric Gates from Muthbusters dies**





In sad news, Erik Gates, a regular guest on the discovery channel show Mythbusters has died as result of a freak accident.


Gates was working onsite for his electrical company when he fell through a skylight. He suffered serious blunt trauma to the chest and then died.

Gates guest starred on four episodes of Mythbusters as the "amateur rocket expert". He was very involved in rocketry, even creating his own website called Gates Brother Rocketry.
The official mythbusters twitter account sent out two tweets honoring Gates saying, "Team MB wishes to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of our beloved rocket expert, Erik." and "You were an honorary MythBuster and will be sorely missed."
It was earlier mistakenly reported that one of Erik's brothers, Dirk Gates, had also recently died as well, but that is UNTRUE and deep, sincere apologies and condolences go out to the family and friends of Erik Gates.
