> Brain was found dead in his office at Centennial Campus on November 20, 2024, at the age of 63.[21][22] His death certificate described the cause of death as suicide.[23] Two and a half hours before his body was discovered, he sent an email to over 30 recipients claiming that he had been forced into retirement at North Carolina State after filing an ethics complaint writing “I have just been through one of the most demoralizing, depressing, humiliating, unjust processes possible with the university.”[24]
