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.

Oh my god I'm so sad. I didn't even know the guy but I've watched and listened to so much Rooster Teeth media... I can't even... wow

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.

Really like RWBY

Very sad when I heard.

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

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.

Whoa, shit - my bad. I'll put a spoilers note in the event that someone else finds this later.
