Pirate Master contestant takes life
Cheryl Kosewicz has committed suicide partially blaming television series Pirate Master.
by Chris Pycroft - Associate Producer AU on 2007-08-01
Although the television series Pirate Master has not performed as well as expected both in Australia and the United States, it appears the pressure got too much for one contestant, taking her life and partially blaming the reality television show for the events which lead up to her suicide.
Thirty five year old Cheryl Kosewicz was found dead in her home in Nevada last week, following being the fourth contestant to be eliminated from Pirate Master.
It is believed that a major contributor to Kosewicz’s death was the suicide of her partner Ryan O'Neil who had also committed suicide just two months ago.
Other contestants and fans for the reality show have all expressed their sympathies over the death. The official Pirate Master MySpace says the following message:
“My deepest sympathies to Cheryl's family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.” “Cheryl, you will be loved and missed by many but never forgotten”.
And from another article:
On a posting on her MySpace website page at the end of June (28Jun07), Kosewicz wrote, "Truthfully, I've lost the strong Cheryl and I'm just floating around lost.
"And this frik'n show doesn't help because it was such a contention between Ryan and I and plus its not getting good reviews."

Well, that is sad, indeed. It is particularly sad that no one was able to help her boyfriend in time and subsequently unable to help her before it was too late.
As far as her role on Pirate Master is concerned, I think she had been perceived very early in the show physically and intellectually as a threat by most of the group and set adrift accordingly.
However, I get a sense that, much like when D&D is put forth as pivotally to blame in some tragedy, even when the involved person themself makes the accusation, there is so much more going on with them and elsewise as to make such a supposition diversionary from the true root cause(s).
Still, a very sad series of events.

That works, too. Picture quality means next to nothing with reality game shows so I'm mind the little screen.Mark said:
