French 'Survivor' Season Canceled After Death of Contestant
The 25-year-old died of cardiac arrest during a tug-of-war segment on the first day of filming in Cambodia.
Production on Koh-Lanta, the French adaptation of Survivor, has been stopped and the series canceled for the 2013 season following the death of a contestant during filming in Cambodia.
Channel TF1 and production company Adventure Line Productions jointly made the decision to cancel the season. "It is not really a question,” said TF1 spokesman Alexander Petit following the death of Gerald Babin, 25. “Everyone is being flown back to France.”
No decision has been made about the long-term continuation of the series.
