Survivor Doctor Kills Himself After Show Death

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 02 April 2013 | 23.12

A doctor working on France's version of the reality TV show Survivor has committed suicide following the death of a contestant last month.

Thierry Costa killed himself on Monday in Cambodia, where the new season of Koh Lanta: The Revenge Of The Heroes was being filmed, according to French broadcaster TF1.

The 38-year-old left a suicide note blaming the media for smearing his name following the death of Gerald Babin from a heart attack during the first day of filming in March.

Copies of the handwritten letter on hotel stationery appeared in the French media, which stated the family had approved the publication.

"Unjust accusations and assumptions have been made against me," he wrote. "I am sure I treated Gerald with respect as a patient and not as a contestant."

An "involuntary homicide" investigation was launched following Mr Babin's death.

According to production company Adventure Line Productions, the contestant complained of arm cramps during one of the challenges set for contestants and received emergency medical care from Mr Costa.

He had reportedly taken part in a swim to shore from a boat and a tug-of-war.

Mr Babin was airlifted to hospital but later died.

Mr Costa was the doctor on four seasons of the show.

Cambodian police said at the time that there were no suspicious circumstances.

However, anonymous accusations have appeared in the media accusing Mr Costa and Adventure Line of negligence, a charge that all parties vehemently denied.

In a statement, TF1 said it "shares the pain" of the Costa family.

Filming was cancelled after Mr Babin's death and the contestants all returned home.
