Mychael Knight of Project Runway is dead to me!

Who?

so sad. I hope people don't make jokes about his death. He was talented and seemed like a nice guy

SAD :( he was so cute and actually a nice person

Is he gay?

Is Opal OK?

Is this the guy with the talking car or the one on All My Children?

Was he the guy with the F'd up grill who ended up working with She By Sheree?

IBS complications? That’s... terrifying.

Didn't he have a furniture line?

No idiots, he sang "One Last Cry", remember?

He was on RHOA

If he was gay he was closeted. So he was closeted

Damn, I didn't know IBS could kill.

Has Laura Bennett released a statement?

IBS ... a shitty way to go... I C what U did thar OP :^) .

He actually died of AIDS but they are saying it's IBS.

How in the world can you die from IBS??

He's black.

That seems very suspicious. I've had IBS for more than 25 years and it doesn't affect your immune system. It's just a nuisance.

It was sadder when his sister Jynny died

What? IBS? Sad - he seemed really sweet. Can't believe he's 39 - always thought he was a lot younger.

Can you die from IBS? No way - that's no - there's no way.

Unlike IBD, IBS doesn't usually damage tissue.

Wow. Nice and talented guy. Used to see him fabric shopping at Gail K’s in Atlanta all the time.

Someone in another thread posted a photo of him at his most recent/last exhibit that showed extreme wasting...

According to mr.google, ibs isn't fatal.

Young people still die from AIDS in America? I thought medicine made it possible to live a long life with AIDS now.

Here is his Project Runway finale. After a very respectable season, he sadly went off the rails and created a collection of cheap-looking and ill-fitting resort wear. Judge for yourself. He did come across as a nice and likeable person.

He didn't die from IBS, that's ludicrous. It's as ridiculous as saying he died from stubbing his toe.

l'aids

Thanks for the vid, r25.

L'ayds

Try this

Why did his tweet say that IBS can trigger other illnesses? He said there was internal leakage from his intestines.

Explosive diarrhea can be fatal.

I ain’t no fashion expert but his collection didn’t look so bad. The reaction of the audience looked like it was the worse.

How was his career after the show?

If I had explosive diarrhea in public I would die of embarrassment. I had it once in a public toilet and that was bad enough.

Doesn't Housewife Camille suffer from that too?

Lol r34

He did not die of IBS for fuck’s sake. He probably was poz.

It was complications. So maybe he had surgery and a seizure or heart attack, or a severely adverse reaction to medication.

[quote]Young people still die from AIDS in America?

Alexis Arquette died recently from complications from AIDS. Yes, it does still happen.

[quote]In 2014, the last year for which these data are available, 12,333 Americans with HIV died of any cause, and 6,721 of them died from causes directly attributable to HIV.

It does indeed. Also, how many people with HIV cannot take meds because of severe side effects, or take meds despite having side effects?

[quote]I've had IBS for more than 25 years and it doesn't affect your immune system.

Post-infectious IBS most certainly does, R17, and the last few years have seen a lot of research on the theory that most types are linked to chronic immune system deficiency. You might want to get another doctor, or just pay attention to what the doc you have actually says.

There is a difference between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel syndrome. The former is uncomfortable and and makes you constipated, diarrheal or both. The latter includes ulcerative colitis and Crohns and can be deadly. He had the latter.

He said he had IBS, R42.

So he was a closet gay?

It's like saying he died of indigestion. Absurd.

I have Crohn's Disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. The medicine I am on to treat the Crohn's suppresses my autoimmune system to allow my intestine to heal. It also makes me more susceptible to infections, cold, flu, etc.

Sorry, R46. I have a very good friend with severe Chron's. It's difficult, the biologics are really helpful but take a toll. Hang in there!

Also a Crohn’s sufferer, let’s make the distinction: IBD can kill, IBS cannot.

He had AIBS

R39, 47 is too young to die, but certainly not if youve been poz for 25 years. I doubt that Alexis Arquette was the most healthy person outside of that. She was a bad example...

Thank you, r42. So people can stop dragging his barely cold corpse through the mud. He said what he had, but people need something juicier.

He never said he had IBD.

Maybe he was initially diagnosed with IBS and the doctor later changed to IBD. These things happen all the time.

Christ, I gotta fart.

Yes r54 I imagine you do, but that fart won't kill you.

wasn't he The Straight One that season?

I remember him well. His forte was sportswear design for both sexes. His connection with his model was extraordinary. When watching, I remember thinking that she was telling him what to do sometimes. His finish just had the "it" factor.

[QUOTE]but that fart won't kill you.

I've been told mine do.

MYCHAEL A KNIGHT, JR R.I.P. 1978 - 2017

HERE LIES THE DEARLY DEPARTED HE WAS ALIVE BUT THEN HE SHARTED

If he had intestinal leakage, he had BID, not ins, and he died from the resultant peritonitis.

Some of y’all are twisted.

I bet you make Holocaust and slavery jokes too.

[quote]wasn't he The Straight One that season?

His sexuality never was addressed on his season.

Frau @ r61.

The affected, written “y’all” gives it away every time.

Not as tedious as you r63.

Y’all can go FUCK yourselves!!

Poor guy. I had no idea you can die from IBS.

Kind of scares me because I have Crohn's pretty bad.

Enraged frau at r64!

Fraus love ALL CAPS, r64!

OMG I have been loudly cackling at R59 's epitaph the whole train ride 🙊

r66 I actually came across that youtube video a couple years ago, funny as fuck.

what????????

Bumping this because I’m watching his season on Bravo. Was it ever revealed what he died from? It certainly couldn’t have been IBS.

It's still a mystery R71

They are keeping it secret because he died from complications related from HIV/AIDS.
