[Necessary disclaimer for 2020] Of a brain aneurysm, not COVID-19.

I'm imagining a Mythbuster-designed Viking-style funeral, complete with spectacular explosions and crashes.

As the Variety article references, he played Sulu in the fan-filmed series Star Trek Continues.

If you are a fan of The Original Series, I highly recommend watching it. Once you get past the faces not looking like Shatner, Nimoy, etc., you'll swear you are looking at 11 new episodes. They all run the right length, have "breaks" where commercials would have been, use much of the same music, and have high production values. And there are a couple of folks who reprise their parents' roles - Chris Doohan plays Scotty, and Amy Rydell plays the Romulan Commander, originally played by her mother Joanne Linville in "The Enterprise Incident."

He was also the creator of the skeleton robot, Geoff Petersen, who appeared as Craig Ferguson's sidekick on the CBS Late Show.
