Jessica Campbell, 'Election' and 'Freaks and Geeks' Star, Dead at 38

Jessica Campbell, who played Tammy Metzler in 'Election,' has died at the age of 38.

Campbell’s family confirmed the news to TMZ, stating that Campbell died on December 29th, 2020, in Portland, Oregon. Campbell, who left acting to become a naturopathic physician, spent the day seeing patients at her practice, her cousin Sarah Wessling told the outlet. She went home to visit with her mother and aunt, and went to the bathroom and never returned.

Her aunt later found her collapsed on the bathroom floor; Campbell was unable to be revived when the EMTs arrived. Her family is waiting for the results of the autopsy, which was conducted by the Multnomah County Medical Examiner in Oregon.

One of the biggest shames was that there was never a second season. It was brilliant.

I watched Freaks & Geeks but I haven't seen it since it aired originally. I certainly remember her from Election. What a shame, so young.
