15 Reality TV stars you didn’t know died – This will shock many! (With Pictures)

13. Damien Gurganious – Biggest Loser

Damien Gurganious was first introduced to audiences through the reality show, Biggest Loser. The show is revered for being far more than just a voyeuristic appeal to the public. Instead, fans root for the contestants to better themselves, and knowing their backstory only makes for a better storyline. While one might think that Damien’s death would be due to something related to obesity, he actually died from the rare disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). This was a sudden onset disease that caused inoperable bleeding in his brain, and it was revealed that he succumbed to the disease in 2014.
