    This happened during the shooting of Survivor Greece in May. The law
    suit info came out on September 3, if I'm understanding correctly. This
    is such a crazy story. Apparently, the producers provided the other
    players with marijuana and cocaine to deal with the shock of what had happened. I'm guessing that was the end for the season but the video
    doesn't address that point. Probably the end of the show if the law suit
    is successful.

    As bad as that sounds, this event from 2013 was probably the worst thing
    to ever happen on a Survivor season:

    The footnote to this was that the on-site doctor supposedly committed
    suicide due to the negative publicity he received, according to the
    suicide note he left.

    The French incident doesn't really surprise me. At some point someone on Survivor US is going to have a heart attack and possibly die. The doctor committing suicide after the fact is sad. Some "fans" can be such assholes.

    It happened one other time that a player died during filming (Survivor Bulgaria), and this one was indeed a heart attack. In this case, the
    season did run through completion.
