Jonny Fairplay's grandmother dies at age 90... 22 years after he lied about her death on Survivor


Survivor villain Jonny Fairplay's grandmother, Ellen Jean Hauser, died on February 8. It's for real this time, unlike it was in 2003 when he said she died to win sympathy points on television.

Known as the 'dead grandma' on Survivor: Pearl Islands, Hauser died of kidney failure at Embrace Hospice House in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Fairplay's grandmother lived a colorful life and embraced her unexpected reality TV fame with a personalized license plate that read 'DEAD GMA.' The pair were jailed after Fairplay's aunt filed a criminal complaint, accusing Hall of mentally abusing her mother and exploiting her dementia.
