Survivor contestant Keith Nale dies aged 62

Firefighter died at his home in Shreveport, Louisiana

Nale, who appeared on two iterations of the popular reality series, had been treated for cancer before his death.

The news was announced by Nale’s son Wes, who appeared alongside his father on Survivor: San Juan del Sur in 2014.

“He passed away this afternoon. He’d been battling cancer for the past few months and we found out about it in January,” Wes said, according to ET Online.

Nale, a firefighter, became a fan favourite during his stint on San Juan del Sur, making it to the final four before being voted out. He returned to the franchise in 2015 to compete in Survivor: Cambodia.

Kelley Wentworth, one of Nale’s San Juan del Sur co-stars, shared a tribute to the late performer on social media.

“Keith - a man with the purest heart, who brought humor into moments where it was needed most,” she wrote. “I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet Keith & share memories together on the beaches of Nicaragua & Cambodia.

“My heart is with the entire Nale family. This is a devastating loss,” she continued.

Fellow Survivor co-star Jeremy Collins wrote: “My condolences to the Big D, Wes, Austin and entire Nale family. You will be missed Keith but your legacy will live on. Rest in power my firefighter/survivor brother.”

Sorry to hear about this. Keith was not a player who I rooted for in either of his seasons, but he did seem to be a genuinely nice guy.

He was a great character and sure seems to have been loved by a lot of past players. With the 50% rule in place I fear we'll never see players like him again.

What rule is that?

RIP anyway, feels like 62 is far too young to die this day
and age ...

50% rule is that at least half the cast has to be nonwhite.

I agree that 62 is way too young. Sucks that he had such an aggressive form of cancer.

That so, Survivor affirmative action?

Do the organizations of the "nonwhite" communities think this
is good?

If they do I guess it's all good ...

It's a Paramount thing. Actually all of the big media conglomerates implemented such rules about three years ago.
