Cheryl Kosewicz, a contestant on CBS' now-canceled Pirate Master reality series, was found dead on Friday.
Kosewicz was a deputy district attorney in Sparks, NV. She had also worked in the district attorney offices in Reno and Las Vegas. Her boyfriend, Ryan O'Neil, committed suicide in June. On the MySpace page of another Pirate Master contestant, Kosewicz had written: "Truthfully, I've lost the strong Cheryl and I'm just floating around lost." She then added, "And this frikin' show doesn't help because it was such a contention with Ryan and I and plus it's not getting good reviews."
The 35 year-old Kosewicz was eliminated on the fourth episode of the show. CBS canceled the show after really low ratings. The remaining episodes will be shown on the network's web site.

The article you link to doesn't state that she committed suicide and that her death is under investigation. While appearances my point to the possibility of suicide, it has not been conclusively determined that suicide was the cause of death.
The title of the post should have been "Pirate Master contestant found dead in her home".

I find it very ironic that there's an ad on the left side of my page that advertises for PIRATE MASTER and wants me to visit CBS' site....

Just finished watching last episode and it was excellent. Then I noticed the comment about Cheryl at the end, it was apparent that she was unhappy and my heart goes out to her - hopefully she's happy now! RIP
