Keith Nale of Louisiana competed on 'Survivor: San Juan del Sur' in 2014 and again as part of 'Survivor: Cambodia' in 2015.
Two-time Survivor contestant and fan-favorite Keith Nale has died. He was 62.
Nale’s son, Wes, broke the news to Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday.
“He passed away this afternoon. He’d been battling cancer for the past few months. We found out about it in January,” Wes told the outlet.
It is not immediately clear what kind of cancer Nale had.
Nale’s brother, Kevin Nale, told ET that Nale’s death was “a life taken way too soon.”
“It happened so quickly. Cancer ate him up. He passed this afternoon at his home in Shreveport, Louisiana,” said Kevin.
Nale, who was a firefighter, competed on Survivor: San Juan del Sur in 2014 and Survivor: Cambodia in 2015. His son Wes also competed alongside him in San Juan del Sur.
In San Juan, Nale succeeded in making it to the final four contestants, but was eventually bested by Natalie Anderson, who won the season. An underdog, Nale won several Immunity Challenges and possessed a Hidden Immunity Idol.
