Police: Former cast member of MTV’s ‘Real World: New Orleans’ dies in Wisconsin

KENOSHA, Wis. – Police say a former cast member of MTV’s “The Real World: New Orleans” has died in Wisconsin.

Twenty-eight-year-old Ryan Knight was found unconscious and not breathing at a friend’s residence in Kenosha around 10 a.m. Thursday. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Knight is from Kenosha. He was a cast member of “The Real World: New Orleans” in 2010.

Kenosha police say Knight had been out with friends the night before his death, and there were no obvious signs of injuries. An autopsy on Friday didn’t find any “anatomical cause of death.”

Toxicology results are pending.

Police say Knight had complained of stomach issues over the last two days, and at this time his death is being looked at as medical or accidental in nature.
