Chris Pearson from ‘Ex on the Beach’ died in October 2021

Chris Pearson’s Ex on the Beach stint wasn’t long-lived. The season premiered in April 2018, and he was just 21 years old at the time. He also went by “Creatures Ferris” and was known for his international DJing.

Sadly, Chris Pearson died in October 2021 from a stabbing at 25 years old. Sources told TMZ Pearson and his girlfriend were allegedly acting loud and disruptive around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021, by the pool in their apartment complex. The source alleged Pearson’s yelling disrupted others in the apartment complex, and a confrontation broke out between Pearson and another man.

“During the argument, the suspect produced a weapon and stabbed the victim,” a representative from the Los Angeles police department said, according to Deadline. “The victim was transported by LAFD to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. The suspect fled to an unknown location.”

TMZ reports Pearson was rushed to the hospital around 3:30 a.m. that night. He died from his injuries.

“Rest in peace,” Read’s Instagram story reads over a photo of her with Pearson. “My heart hurts so much. Such a beautiful soul taken from us too soon. I’m so thankful to have known you and you are going to be so missed. Your memory will live on and you will always have a special place in my heart. Fly high, Chris.”

Read then posted a short video clip of Pearson with friends stacked on top of each other in a pyramid. “Forever thankful for all the amazing memories we shared,” she captioned the video.

Finally, she posted a video of her and Pearson cuddling together in bed. “You always know how to put a smile on anyone’s face … happy I was one of them,” she wrote.
