Knight, who appeared in MTV's "The Real World New Orleans," was reportedly found lifeless by friends Thursday morning. The star's cause of death has not been revealed but a couple of friends claimed that he had taken "some pills" while partying the night before he was found dead.
Knight's death was confirmed by on-again/off-again girlfriend and "Real World" co-star Jemmye Carroll, the Hollywood Life says.
Carroll took to Twitter to share the sad news. She posted a collage of their pictures together and captioned it, "Words will neer be enough to justify the connection we shared and the pain I will forever feel. RIP @Knight_MTV."
Friends of the late star mourned on social media.
"Real World Sydney" star Cohutta Grindstaff posted a photo of him with Knight and their other friends on Instagram. The photo was captioned: "Ryan Knight was a person of pure heart and it will be 100% impossible to ever forget him. If you knew him you'll understand...You will be missed my friend."
