Savannah Chrisley & Ex-fiance's Tape, Where She Saved His Life, Was Revealed - He Died Just a Few Months Later
- The ex-fiancé of American TV personality Savannah Chrisley tragically died at 29 after being involved in a car accident.
- A police tape reveals that Savannah once saved Nic Kerdiles' life months before he passed away.
American TV personality Savannah Chrisley, 26, the famous daughter of Todd Chrisley, has just suffered a heartbreaking loss. She recently lost her ex-fiancé, former NHL Hockey player Nic Kerdiles, who died in a car accident at 29.
During the early morning hours of Saturday morning in late September, Nic's motorbike collided with the driver's side of a BMW. Though the police confirmed that neither driver was under the influence, they said Nic had run through a stop sign in a residential area.
As a result of the severe injuries Nic sustained, he later passed away at a local hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. Before he died, Nic had spent the last moments of his life doing what he loved: riding his motorcycle, which even appeared in his Instagram story.
In the story, he referred to himself as "Night Rider," and days before, Nic had shared several photos of himself and friends enjoying his time in Nashville. According to reports, he had been living there and practicing real estate before planning to return home.
In the wake of his passing and in the midst of their grieving, the Chrisley family has been sharing touching tributes in Nic's honor. Despite him and Savannah having ended their relationship and calling off their engagement before he died, the two remained close until the day he passed. Like Savannah, the Chrisley family still viewed Nic as a part of their family:
"Doesn't feel real...Lost a brother today...Fly high my brother and rest easy"

Since his death, Savannah shared more than one tribute to her beloved ex-partner. In addition to expressing her disbelief over the sad news of his death, the 26-year-old TV personality posted a heartwarming video montage of her and Nic sharing beautiful memories. The post was accompanied by a lengthy caption that detailed their relationship and how much she loves and misses him:
"...Our time in San Diego will always be unforgettable to me. It's where we began...And I so badly wish I could hop on a flight and you be there waiting on me."
Sometime before His Death, Savannah Chrisley Saved Nic Kerdiles' Life
Last year, the former NHL hockey player opened up about his suicide attempt. He was joined by Savannah and her dad, Todd, who stepped in at the right time to prevent Nic from taking his own life.
Nic explained how the negative emotions he felt during the height of the pandemic spearheaded the onset of the dangerous situation he found himself in — with a gun by his side. According to him:
"I don't know where I was at in my mental state but between the depression, anxiety...the medication and the alcohol, I did something that I never thought I would ever do."
Savannah and her dad intervened immediately to save Nic's life. Someone made a distress call to 911, where Savannah was heard screaming at and pleading with Nic not to end his life.
Luckily, Savannah was able to get inside the home where Nic was by breaking through a glass window, cutting her hand in the process. After Todd and Savannah managed to get the gun away from Nic, they were also able to get him to sit in Todd's car until authorities arrived on the scene.
The Chrisley family continues to mourn their devastating loss, and condolences continue to be sent to Nic's bereaved loved ones.
