On Thanksgiving morning in 2014, the Kenosha, Wisconsin police released a statement that they'd received a medical call about a 28-year-old male found unconscious and not breathing at a local house, CNN reported at the time. Ryan Knight passed away at the scene with no visible injuries, but CNN noted that toxicology results were still pending.
According to TMZ, the Kenosha County medical examiner ultimately determined that Knight had multiple drugs in his system, including methadone, tramadol, cocaine, and Xanax, along with a high level of alcohol. His death was ruled an accidental overdose.
Upon learning of his death, Knight's former "The Real World: New Orleans" roommate and off-and-on girlfriend Jemmye Carroll tweeted, "Words will never be enough to justify the connection we shared and the pain I will forever feel."
