Nale advanced to the championship round. He participated in Survivor: Cambodia β Second Chances the very next year, where viewers chose him for a second chance to win a million dollars. He tried to be more strategic and cooperative throughout that season but was ultimately eliminated in fifth place.
Nale’s co-star in both of his seasons, Kelley Wentworth, tweeted her sympathies to the family. “Keith, a man with the purest heart, who brought humor into moments where it was needed the most,” she wrote.
βIβm grateful I had the opportunity to meet Keith & share memories together on the beaches of Nicaragua & Cambodia. My heart is with the entire Nale family. This is a devastating loss.β
The winner of Survivor: Cambodia, Jeremy Collins, who twice competed alongside Keith, wrote: βMy condolences to the Big D, Wes, Austin and entire Nale family. You will be missed Keith but your legacy will live on. Rest in power my firefighter/survivor brother.β
