Reality TV Alum Lisa Knapp Dies at 52 After Aortic Rupture

Her husband, singer Andreas Johnson, said a connective tissue disorder underlay the fatal rupture.

Overview

  • He said an attending doctor found no external trigger and concluded nothing she or the family could have done would have altered the outcome.
  • The family linked the rupture to a pre-existing connective tissue disorder that had been monitored.
  • Knapp gained public attention through Sweden’s Robinson, the original Survivor-format series.
  • She is survived by Johnson—known for the hit single Glorious—and their two children, Ella and Tim.
