MTV’s ‘Real World’ Star Ryan Knight Choked On Vomit In His Sleep: Body Found On Thanksgiving Morning

Ryan Knight, the former star of MTV's "Real World," was reportedly found dead at a friend's house on Thanksgiving morning, according to the NY Daily News. 

A friend told TMZ that Knight, who appeared on the 2010 season of the MTV show in New Orleans, reportedly choked on his vomit in his sleep sometime late Wednesday or early Thursday after a night out partying. 

The "Real World" star was 29-years-old, according to Us Weekly. Knight was reportedly telling his friends that he was happy in a new relationship on Wednesday evening. 

"The Real World family has lost another member. Reactions here. https://www.mtv.com/news/2010788/real-world-challenge-ryan-knight-tributes/," read the statement released by MTV. 

The post read, "Our thoughts are with Ryan Knight's family and friend."

News of Ryan Knight's death reportedly comes less than two weeks after MTV reality star Diem Brown passed away earlier his month following a battle against ovarian cancer, according to the entertainment website. 

The cause of death is reportedly pending while toxicology tests are run, but police have stated that there were no obvious signs of injuries, according to CNN. 

The police statement reportedly noted that Knight had complained of "stomach issues" the past two days. 

Knight's "Real World" costars took to Twitter to mourn the death of their friend and former cast mate. 

"Words will never be enough to justify the connection we shared and the pain I will forever feel. RIP," wrote Knight's ex-girlfriend Jemmy Carroll.

"The Challenge" alum Zach Nichols wrote, "You lived your life in the fast lane, and your smile was contagious. My bunkmate, my buddy. Rest easy pal, I'll miss you."
