Tyler Duckworth from MTV's "The Challenge," is dead ... TMZ has confirmed.
Tyler died Tuesday after he was reportedly found unresponsive in a bathroom in North Dakota, where he had been living in recent years, according to The U.S. Sun.
Local officials reportedly classified his death as unattended, meaning no one witnessed it. The outlet also reports Tyler recently underwent surgery, though it's unclear if the procedure played any role in his death.
