## Death

Link died on December 25, 2015. During filming of that day's Good Mythical Morning episode "Will It Eggnog?", Link ingested an eggnog made with pig's blood. Shortly after filming ended, Link began experiencing symptoms of blood poisoning due to the presence of bacteria in the pig's blood. The bacteria infecting his blood steam led to sepsis, followed by septic shock. Link was rushed to the hospital after experiencing severe pain near his liver region. Link was immediately taken to the emergency room, where surgeons worked to save Link's life - however, it was too late. Link Neal was announced dead on December 25, 2015, at 8:38 PM. He was 37 years old. The official cause of death was liver failure due to septic shock following an infection of the blood.

His co-star Rhett was devastated by the news, and so was the Mythical Crew. In order to keep Good Mythical Morning running, as well as to cope with the loss of his life-long friend, Rhett decided to cast a Link look-alike to take the old Link's place. The new Link, whose real name is Robin Daniels, then assumed the identity of the original Link Neal. However, the new Link was never able to recreate the hair style of the old Link perfectly; therefore, when he was brought onto the set of Good Mythical Morning on January 11, 2016, he was introduced as the same Link, but with a new haircut. The truth behind Link's death was kept secret, until on August 1 2021, when Rhett McLaughlin confessed to Link's death on an Instagram post.

Rhett was charged with extreme negligence and identity fraud. In a shocking twist, Rhett was also charged with first-degree murder. Detective uncovered the truth behind the death of Link. In the aforementioned "Will It Eggnog?" episode, Rhett became highly agitated when Link accidentally spilled eggnog onto Rhett's pants. His visible anger continued throughout the show, peaking at a moment when nobody laughed at his joke about the Coca-Cola eggnog keeping you up all night. Prosecutors alleged that during the filming, Rhett's anger boiled over, and he snuck in a toxic batch of blood into the blood eggnog. Prosecutors pointed to the fact that Rhett initially refused to drink the bloodnog while Link had already drank and swallowed it. Once Rhett finally attempted to drink the bloodnog, he spat it out almost immediately.

On May 12 2022, Rhett entered a plea bargain with prosecutors. He confessed that he was responsible for the killing of Link, and in return, prosecutors lessened his charge from murder to manslaughter. After pleading guilty, a judge sentened Rhett to 20 years in prison for manslaughter, extreme negligence, and identity fraud. In Rhett's message to the media, he swore that he never intended to kill Link, and that he simply tried to make him feel sick. Rhett openly wept over the loss of his original best friend.

Robin Daniels was also indicted on identity fraud chargers, although he was let go after it was discovered that he was held hostage by Rhett and the Mythical Crew. Today, Robin lives in isolation in the countryside of Wales, his original home.

On May 13 2022, the prosecutors decided Rhett was deserving of the death sentence instead. Rhett McLaughlin was executed by firing squad on May 14 2022. The final episode of Good Mythical Morning was uploaded the next day, featuring Rhett's execution. It is by far the shortest GMM video, being only 0:47 of shaky camcorder footage of Rhett being shot to death. It quickly became the most viewed video on YouTube within 12 hours, with over 5 billion views as of August 1, 2021. Critics have lauded the series finale as being "thought-provoking" and "sharp", many hailing it as the best episode of GMM to date.
