YouTube/Survivor Greece A brutal off-camera accident has brought Survivor Greece to a sudden halt. Production and broadcasts of the reality series have reportedly been suspended after 21-year-old contestant Stavros Floros suffered catastrophic injuries while spearfishing during a break from filming in the Dominican Republic. Floros was diving off Saona Island when he was struck by a tourist vessel, according to statements from AcunMedya obtained by the Toronto Sun. The production company stressed that the incident occurred outside the show’s competitive activities and said Floros was immediately assisted and transported for medical treatment while authorities investigate what happened. Reports say Floros suffered severe injuries to both legs after being struck by the boat’s propellers, including a partial amputation of his left leg and major trauma to his right ankle. Floros remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition and is reportedly out of danger. Greek broadcaster SKAI said it would help cover medical treatment and rehabilitation costs while Survivor Greece remains off the air. Read it at Toronto Sun Read more at The Daily Beast.
