AceShowbiz - Sad news emerged on Thanksgiving day. MTV's "Real World" star Ryan Knight was found dead on November 27 by a friend, reportedly choking on his own vomit. He was 29. According to TMZ, Knight was at a party having fun with his friends on Wednesday night before crashing on the friend's home.

Fellow cast members on the show paid tribute to Knight on social media. Jemmye Carroll, Knight's roommate whom he dated during the show, shared some photos and wrote, "Words will never be enough to justify the connection we shared and the pain I will forever feel. RIP."
