Σύμφωνα με διάφορες πηγές ο Ράιαν Γιάνγκ σκοτώθηκε σε ατύχημα με αυτοκίνητο, αλλά ακόμα δεν έχουν γίνει γνωστές περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για το περιστατικό.

Ο Γιάνγκ είχε πάνω από $1.600.000 σε έπαθλα από live τουρνουά, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του επάθλου για την πρώτη θέση σε event $1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, το 2007, όταν και κατέκτησε το μοναδικό του bracelet WSOP.

A real loss for the poker world. Ryan Young was interesting, charismatic, a talker, aggressive, and exciting to watch. I liked him.

I'm also incredibly sad about Ryan Young's passing. He was a treat to play with---such a vibrant, good-natured kid. Too young for that. RIP.
