Goins had worked on the Gold Rush series for a total of 15 seasons. 

Jesse was cleaning gold in the ‘gold room’ when he fell unconscious, it was claimed by TMZ.

It was his job on the show to separate and clean the gold, it was noted, and he was in the room doing just that.

By the time he was found, he was on the floor but the medic stepped in and tried to resuscitate Jesse, which did not happen.

An EMT arrived and tried to revive him as well before putting him in the ambulance.

On his latest show, Gold Rush: Dave Turin’s Lost Mine, Jesse helped Turin find gold at old gold mines in the Western United States that are no longer in use. The goal was to make the mine active again and make a profit. 

The show debuted in March 2019 and was set near Prescott Valley, Arizona. The second season took place in Marysville, Montana and aired earlier this year. 

Goins – not to be confused with Robocop actor Jesse D Goins – was also on Gold Rush: The Dirt this year.
