Survivor Greece has been suspended following a severe injury sustained by contestant Stavros Floros during a boating accident while spearfishing.
According to reports, Floros lost part of his left leg after a tourist boat struck him while he was diving without a surface marker buoy in an area frequented by vessels. The boat’s outboard engine propellers caused severe trauma, including a partial amputation of his left leg and significant damage to his right ankle.
Production company AcunMedya confirmed the shutdown of the show in the Dominican Republic and released a statement detailing the incident and Floros’ condition.
"According to the information available so far, the accident appears to have happened when a tourist boat injured the contestant while he was spearfishing outside the competitive process of the reality show," the statement read. "From the very first moment, there was an immediate response to provide assistance and safely transport the injured contestant, while the competent port authorities are investigating the causes of the incident in order to fully determine the circumstances."
The statement also noted that Floros remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition and is out of danger.
SKAI television announced plans to assist with Floros’ medical treatment and rehabilitation but confirmed that the show would remain suspended indefinitely.
