Josh Marks, best known from season 3 of the reality cooking series “MasterChef,” was found dead Friday night in Chicago in an apparent suicide.
Police responded to a call in the city’s Longwood Manor neighborhood around 6:45 p.m. Friday reporting a body in the alley. Marks, just 26, was found lying “face-up, unresponsive and bleeding from the head,” the Tribune reports.
The South Side resident was pronounced dead on the scene from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound according the medical examiner’s office. A revolver was found near his body.
Friday night, Chicago-based MasterChef judge Graham Elliot tweeted his condolences:
The self-taught chef was ordered to undergo a mental health assessment in August to determine if he was mentally fit to stand trial after he was accused of attacking a cop at the University of Chicago.
