Brown and Knight both died last month, Brown of cancer and Knight after a night of partying, which allegedly involved "some pills." According to a TMZ report, a friend of Knight's claimed the reality star was partying hard on the night before Thanksgiving. After arriving home, Knight reportedly fell asleep and chocked on his own vomit.
"It’s devastating for all of us," Murray continued. "But we feel it’s important to, you know, they loved being on The Real World or on The Challenge, and it’s great that that video of them, that story of them actually exists on video."
On Tuesday, MTV announced the upcoming season of The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II would be dedicated to the memory of Brown and Knight.
