Jeopardy Honors Cindy Stowell, Contestant Who Died of Cancer
Quote:
Alex Trebek on Wednesday took a moment to honor Jeopardy contestant Cindy Stowell, who on Dec. 5 died from Stage 4 colon cancer. She was 41.
Stowell, a six-day champion whose earnings totaled $103,801, filmed her episodes in August and September. (Her episodes began airing on Dec. 13.) Those earnings were donated posthumously to cancer research.
“Appearing on our show was the fulfillment of a lifelong ambition for [Cindy Stowell],” Trebek remarked. “From all of us here at Jeopardy, our sincere condolences to her family and her friends.”
I watched the whole week, and there was one episode when she was about to lose and she ended up winning final jeopardy. I didn't know this happen, and I am sorta disturbed by it. Such a sweet girl.
