The contestant was said to be spearfishing in the waters off Saona Island in the Dominican Republic during a break from filming when the incident occurred, according to AcunMedya, the show’s production company.

In a statement, AcunMedya dubbed what happened a “serious accident.” As noted by The Toronto Sun, “We consider it necessary to clarify the exact circumstances under which the incident occurred.”

As the statement continued, “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.” Reportedly, there was an “immediate response” to provide Floros aid following the incident.

The incident is said to currently be under investigation. According to local authorities, Floros was struck by the boat’s engine propellers. This caused the partial amputation of his left leg. His right ankle was also said to be significantly injured.
