"MasterChef" Finalist Josh Marks Dead: Suicide

"MasterChef" finalist Josh Marks was found dead in a Chicago alleyway just a few months after his shocking run-in with University of Chicago police.  
According to officials, Marks, 26, committed suicide.

A rep for the Chicago PD claimed they had received a call from a woman screaming for help on Friday evening. After arriving to the alley, they discovered a 26-year old man with a gunshot wound to the head.




Several sources involved with the investigation explained the victim is Josh Marks.

Officers also reportedly recovered a nearby weapon and they're still investigating. 

Just in case you have missed it,  Marks was busted by U. of Chicago cops in July after allegedly punching an officer and trying to take his gun. Three cops tried to subdue Marks with batons and pepper spray, but the "MasterChef" finalist broke free and took off running.

It finally took 5 officers to chase him down and handcuff him. Once in custody, police officers state Marks accused Gordon Ramsay for his outburst, noting that Ramsay had possessed him and turned him into God. There was no proof of drug use.

Months before his arrest, Marks released a video for the "Make a Sound Project", an organization dedicated to helping people struggling with suicidal thoughts, announcing he suffered from bipolar disorder.

Cops insist Marks was in a manic state during the U. Chicago incident.




A rep for the Chicago Medical Examiner confirmed the body was Josh Marks and the cause of death was apparently suicide.
