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.
