Top Chef star Aaron Grissom 'dead at 34 after horrific motorcycle accident'

TOP Chef star Aaron Grissom has died at 34 after a tragic motorcycle crash.

Aaron died on Tuesday in Washington state after suffering "multiple blunt force injuries" in a traffic accident.

Pierce County medical examiner ruled his death an accident.

He took part in season1 2 of Top Chef in 2014, but was eliminated early on, and he also appeared on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.

He worked at North Hollywood's Bow & Truss.

Aaron was a Tacoma native, and according to a business partner, had been travelling the world cooking for artists on tour, including Billie Eilish.

Yu Nanakornphanom told Tacoma News Tribune that Aaron had also donated a kidney to him during a battle with diabetes.

"After we opened Moshi Moshi, we talked about it. 'I have this condition, I don’t know how much I can take with the business,'" Yu revealed.

"Then we were joking around, and he said, ‘I can give you a kidney.’ We happened to be a match — we’re both Type O. It’s very rare to find Type O."

Yu added that Aaron had been living in Mexico during the coronavirus pandemic, and his return to Washington was a surprise.

“He had a lot going on,” said Nanakornphanom. “I think he had a good future ahead of him. He’s always learning to do something. He was driven. He lived his life fully.”
