#RIP: Pulse Survivor, Chris Brodman

Friends of Pulse survivor Chris Brodman said that Brodman died early Sunday morning while visiting the Tampa area. The cause of death is under investigation. Brodman’s friends have posted on social media saying that he passed away while attending a birthday party.

According to News6, the Hillsborough County Sheriff‘s office said that it responded to a home after receiving reports of a man unconscious at about 1:50 AM Sunday.

Pulse survivor, Orlando Torres said that he was first notified through Brodman’s boyfriend that Brodman had passed away. Torres said,

“It was supposed to be a fun night. They were supposed to go out there and just, you know, have a fun night out there in Tampa. His boyfriend posted on Facebook, as well as my friend posted on Facebook, that Chris Brodman had passed away.“

Torres said that Brodman was given a second chance at life, only to have it cut short just three months after the Pulse shooting.

“It’s unfortunate this had to happen to someone that is just so sweet and nice and didn’t deserve it, like anybody else.“

News 6 spoke with Brodman on June 21, just nine days after the shooting. Brodman told News 6 how he narrowly escaped Pulse. Brodman said then,

“Last call. We went out to the patio to have a cigarette, and we were out there when the shots started to be fired. “I said, ‘Run. Just run, run, run.’ And we all just ran out the bar.“

Brodman got a Pulse tattoo after the attack.
