A reality television star has died as a result of a stabbing incident over the weekend in California, according to a news report.

TMZ is reporting that Chris Pearson, 25, who was a contestant on MTV’s “Ex on the Beach,” was stabbed during an altercation around 2 a.m. Sunday and was transported to a hospital, but died around 3:30 a.m. from his injuries.

“We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Chris Pearson,” the TV show said on its Facebook page. “Our hearts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.”

MTV calls the show, “Ex on the beach,” a social experiment that features 10 romantically embattled reality stars. However, Pearson, who was a professional DJ and appeared on the first season of show, was one of the few people on the show who seemingly had no prior TV experience, TMZ said.

TMZ said Pearson appeared on 11 episodes, and said he “provided some of the show’s best drama.”

After the show, Pearson continued his music career with much success, the report said.
