Wipeout contestant dies after completing obstacle course
https://www.tmz.com/2020/11/20/wipeo...stacle-course/
A contestant on the TBS revival of the ABC reality competition hosted by John Cena and Nicole Byer has died after completing the obstacle course on Wednesday, TMZ reports. "Production sources tell TMZ ... a male contestant needed medical attention Wednesday after completing the course, and he was tended to by on-site emergency personnel who then called paramedics," reports TMZ. "We're told the contestant was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Our law enforcement sources tell us they got a cardiac arrest call just before noon Wednesday, and medics on set had already started using a defibrillator on the contestant, who was experiencing chest pains after completing the course. We're told there are precautions and safeguards in place on set. For example, every Wipeout contestant undergoes medical exams before participating. There are also 2 paramedics on-site, plus a safety producer and paramedic coordinator." TBS' "re-imagined" revival of Wipeout was ordered in April. |
