A cause of death has not been disclosed, butPEOPLE reportsthat Jordan died “after a short illness.”
Jordan’s season ofSurvivorwas filmed in Thailand in 2002.
He was 46 at the time, and lasted all 39 days without getting voted out.
He eventually lost to Brian Heidik in the final Tribal Council, in a close vote of 4-3.
“We had a Zoom call reunion for charity, and it was so dope,” he said.
“It was good to chat with the gang, and Clay Jordan is hysterical.”
Jordan’s wife, Linda Sue Jordan, died earlier this year after contracting COVID-19.
The Jordans are survived by their children, Shanda and Andy, and several grandchildren.
