Naked and Afraid Star Sarah Danser Dead at 34 After Hawaii Car Crash

As a dedicated follower of Sarah Danser’s incredible journey, I am deeply saddened by her untimely demise. Her spirit was truly one-of-a-kind, and she left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.


Family and friends are mourning the loss of Sarah Danser.

On October 22nd, the star of Naked and Afraid unfortunately passed away at a hospital in Kahala, Hawaii, following a car accident, as reported by local television station KSLA.

Two days ago, on October 20th, an accident took place. A man driving the car, with Danser as his passenger, apparently lost control, colliding with a stationary vehicle, as reported by Honolulu police. The local authorities suggested that speed might have played a role, but there was no evidence of drug or alcohol use.

Based on KSLA’s report, the driver sustained severe injuries and was admitted to the hospital, while a woman in the parked vehicle also suffered serious injuries. Remarkably, another man present in the parked car declined medical attention.

A 34-year-old experienced reality TV personality debuted on the eighth season of Discovery Channel’s survivalist series in 2017. She reappeared on the show during season 11 in 2020, and also featured in four, six, and seven seasons of the Naked and Afraid XL.

She had most recently appeared on The CW’s Fight to Survive in 2023. 

Dan Danser’s father and his brother Jake Danser had already reached the hospital prior to her departure.

Her father shared with KSLA that he truly witnessed the significant impact she had on others’ lives. He even believed that she had once saved his life, by diving in Indonesia.

His brother remarked, “She’s truly magical. Sarah exuded a radiant positivity that simply permeated wherever she was present.

Born in Colorado, Danser spent more than a decade residing in Hawaii. This long-term resident was a twice victorious survivor of breast cancer who held the position of a boat captain and led a semi-permanent life aboard a vessel docked within the Kahala marina.

With heavy hearts, Island Divers Hawaii bids farewell to a cherished friend and exceptional leader. Sarah’s vibrant spirit left an indelible mark on all she met. Her absence will be deeply felt.

Originating from Colorado, Danser had spent more than ten years residing in Hawaii. Her family observed this. This resilient two-time breast cancer survivor held the position of a boat captain and divided her time between living on a vessel docked at the Kahala boat harbor.

With heavy hearts, Island Divers Hawaii bid farewell to an excellent friend and outstanding captain, Sarah. Her vibrant spirit left a lasting impression on all who crossed her path. She will surely be deeply missed.

Tim Mason, a companion of Danser’s and a shared enthusiast of diving, expressed that the nearby diving group found inspiration in her, and they would arrange grand gatherings to catch her reality TV appearances.

Mason said to KSLA that she was intelligent. Underwater, she searched and discovered edible items such as slugs, snails, and other similar creatures. Not only could she identify the necessary steps for survival, but she executed them admirably.

Fellow Naked and Afraid star Melissa Lauren also honored her late costar.

In a Facebook post, it was stated that Sarah was one of the most daring individuals I’ve ever encountered. Not only did she display incredible resilience as a contestant on Naked and Afraid (she completed the XL edition in South Africa alongside me), but she also faced Breast Cancer with an uplifting and optimistic demeanor throughout her treatment.

She mentioned, “She had a deep affection for the ocean, nature, and adventure; to me, she embodied the spirit of a ‘contemporary sea explorer’.
