“Survivor: Africa” runner-up Kim Johnson has died at the age of 79, according to that season’s winner, Ethan Zohn. The “Survivor” Season 3 contestant’s family confirmed her death.
“Rest in peace Kim Johnson. It was a blessing to call you my friend and a privilege to experience the final tribal council with you,” Zohn wrote on Instagram Monday. “I will forever have that planters punch in your honor!”
While he did not publicly disclose a cause of death, the “Survivor: Winners at War” contestant did tag Stand Up to Cancer in his announcement.
Johnson starred on the third season of “Survivor” in 2001 and ultimately lost the final tribal council vote to Zohn 5-2, winning $100,000 in the process.
