We were saddened to hear about the untimely death of 35-year-old storyboard artist Ricky Garduno. The cause of death is unknown. In addition to Family Guy, the artist worked on series such as El Tigre, The Drinky Crow Show, The Buzz on Maggie and Coconut Fred’s Fruit Salad Island. In addition, he created Dumm Comics’ online comic 1930 Nitemare Theatre.

Very sad. I saw Seth MacFarlane's tweet about this the other day. He seems pretty broken up.

I wonder if he was perfectly healthy at the time of his death? The worst thing that can happen to anyone is you're perfectly healthy, but then for no reason, you just die.

It's a rumored suicide.
