The lawyer’s body was found in his home on the morning of November 6. The death was confirmed by the Clark County Forensic Service, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The exact cause of Sanft's death has not yet been established. According to the preliminary assessment of the police, the circumstances of the incident do not indicate the criminal nature of the incident. Colleagues and close lawyers expressed their condolences, noting his professionalism and many years of work in criminal proceedings. During his career, the lawyer participated in more than 150 trials involving jurors.

One of Sanft’s latest high-profile cases was the defense of Dwayne Davis, known by the nickname Keffe Dee, who in August 2026 was found guilty of organizing the murder of Tupac Shakur. In October, the man was sentenced to between 40 years and life. The lawyer did not agree with the court decision and on October 30 filed a notice of intent to appeal the verdict. A week later, Sanfta was found dead.
