Cindy Stowell, a science content developer from Austin, Texas, had Stage 4 cancer when she competed on the show a few months ago.

According to Jeopardy!, Stowell's goal was to donate her prize money to cancer-related organizations.

"Competing on Jeopardy! was a lifelong dream for Cindy, and we're glad she was able to do so. Sadly, Cindy died on December 5. Our condolences and best wishes to her family and friends," host Alex Trebek said in a statement on the show's website.
