Smoot was 34-years old. The cause of death has not been announced.

On Facebook today they wrote, “There will be an announcement in the first half of this week regarding memorial services. There won’t be any other information until the medical report is done, and that may be a while. So keep sending your love to the family, and especially Jamie…she needs everything we can give her”.
