An ex-contestant from the reality TV show "Naked and Afraid" has passed away.

35-year-old Melanie Rauscher was discovered dead on July 17 at a residence in Arizona.

Melanie Roshan found dead while dog-sitting at Arizona home.

Her death's official reason is still unknown.

In addition to a spinoff series the following year, Ms. Rauscher participated in the 2017 season of the Discovery survival series "Naked and Afraid."

The news of her passing prompted Jeremy McCaa, her co-star, to write a touching Facebook message.

McCaw claimed that she entered my life in a way that he could not explain and that this led to an unfathomable friendship.

She was a courageous woman and a beautiful person, and I will always treasure our interactions.
