'Survivor: Palau' contestant Jennifer Lyon dies at age 37

Jennifer Lyon, a contestant on Survivor: Palau, has died at age 37, reports UsMagazine.com. Lyon finished in fourth place on the show's tenth season, which aired in 2005.  She died at her home in Oregon yesterday because of breast cancer.



Austin Carty, an alum of Survivor: Panama, dated Lyon, who starred on Survivor: Palau, in 2006. "Jen was a genuinely selfless, sweet-natured person," he said."She always had a smile. She cared about every person.”



Lyon was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at age 33 in 2005, and spoke to Us Weekly about her decision to get a double mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy.



"I was completely shocked and overwhelmed," Lyon said of her initial diagnosis of the disease. "I felt fine that day; in fact, I've been healthy my entire life."



Our deepest condolences to Lyon's family and friends.
