We’re covering MasterChef these days, so this is relevant. Season 3 runner-up, Joshua Marks was found dead of a gunshot to his head in an alley on Chicago’s south side last night, reports CNN.
Investigators have not yet ruled if Marks, who has publicly acknowledged suffering from bipolar disorder, committed suicide, Chicago Police spokesman John Mirabelli told CNN.
Marks, 26, lost to winner Christine Ha in the final round of the Fox reality cooking competition’s third season.
His death comes three months after he was arrested following a scuffle with several Chicago police officers, according to the Chicago Tribune. Marks told police he had been possessed by “MasterChef” judge Gordon Ramsay, who turned him into God, the newspaper reported.
Ramsey reacted on twitter today: “Just heard the devastating news about Josh Marks. My thoughts are with his family & friends at this tragic time.”
