• Late Friday, Masterchef runner-up Joshua Marks committed suicide. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Marks’ family is blaming his death the lack of available mental health facilities and easy access to guns. Marks made headlines back in July after having an altercation with police. At the time, he claimed to be possessed by Masterchef star and creator Gordon Ramsay, who Marks believed turned him into God. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. [CNN]
