The following is an excert from Dailey Breeze:

"Friends of Tim Roberts, who starred in the Torrance-based series, mourn his
sudden death.
By Muhammed El-Hasan
Daily Breeze

Tim Roberts, who starred in the reality TV series "Wing Nuts," squeezed his
girlfriend's cheeks a little past midnight on Monday, and said "I'm so glad
I finally found you."

He then went downstairs for a snack of pizza pockets, and never returned.
Four hours later, Roberts' girlfriend, Elissa Holland, found his 6-foot
4-inch frame collapsed on the kitchen floor.

Mark Mullin, owner of the Mar Vista house, attempted CPR on Roberts, 39, who
didn't respond. "It was just too late," said Holland, who was living with
Roberts in the Mullins' attic. "It's such a waste. He was at his peak."

Roberts was one of three main characters in "Wing Nuts," which premiered
Sept. 28 on the Discovery Channel. The show follows Roberts and the two
owners of Torrance-based MotoArt, Donovan Fell and Dave Hall, as they make
furniture from salvaged aircraft parts.

The coroner's office said it performed an autopsy on Roberts, but needed to
conduct further tests. Roberts apparently died of natural causes. There was
no sign of foul play."

Apparently he passed on October 11, 2004

That is sad, he was a very interesting character.

I would not want to be on Discovery Channel

Michal Tata died and he was on American Casio and now another person. Freaky

Thanks for the info, I couldn't find it. Too bad for the guy, he was always 'searching' for something or how to fit in. Hopefully he is in a happy place now.
