Ultimate Survivor Star Ultimately Didn't Survive Shooting
Jimmy Gojdics managed to survive the perils of Alaska and reality TV stardom before he was apparently shot to death Monday. He was 69.
Cops are investigating the shooting, which reportedly involved multiple gunshots. The details, via Newsminer.com:
Alaska State Troopers received word of the shooting at 3:06 p.m. at Gojdics’ home on the Old Elliott Highway behind the Silver Gulch Brewery. Gojdics was “suffering from apparent gunshot wounds” when troopers arrived. He was pronounced dead after being transported to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, according to a troopers news release.
The case is under investigation as a homicide, said trooper spokesman Tim Despain. He said Monday afternoon that he doesn’t know if there are any suspects in Gojdics’ killing. Gojdics’ body is being sent to the State Medical Examiner.
Friends say Gojdics, who competed on season two of Ultimate Survival: Alaska had no immediate family, but plenty of admirers.
“Everyone was his friend and he met someone everywhere,” a friend tells the paper.
