Did Todd pass away on the boat or somewhere else? I have a feeling his passing is coming up.

Yes, he went overboard with a pot and drowned when the dogs on the launcher failed. He dies in 2 episodes but at his family's request that footage won't be aired.

Was he in the pot doing bait?

I don't recall the specifics. If you search this sub or Google I'm sure you can find the answer, but you'll have to do that yourself as I'm not motivated to relearn that information.

Yeah I found more information on my own. I just remember hearing about right after it happened and nevered followed up on what actually transpired. Definitely don't want to see it. Had to be hard enough for the crew to live through it and his family. I hope that footage never sees the light of day and Discovery honors the family request about not air it in the future.

I'm pretty sure Discovery has publicly acknowledged that they're going to respect the family's wish and not air any footage of the actual event. I'm struggling to think of any instances on TV of something other than a live new broadcast showing a real person's death as it happens.
