Josh Marks, a troubled “MasterChef” finalist, committed suicide in Chicago on Friday.

Police confirm that the 26-year-old was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A revolver was discovered near his body.

Marks’ relatives say he had suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

His death comes after a disturbing July incident during which Marks was arrested for assaulting a police officer.

At the time, authorities say Marks claimed to have been possessed by “MasterChef” judge Gordon Ramsay and believed he’d transformed into God.

Marks was the runner-up to Christine Ha on the third season of “MasterChef” in 2012.

Krissi Biasiello, a contestant on the FOX cooking series “MasterChef,” allegedly used the N-word on Twitter and made a racist remark in two since-deleted messages.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, which unearthed the tweets, Biasiello complained about the Philadelphia 76ers with extremely offensive language back in May 2012.

In a screen-grabbed post, the aspiring chef wrote, “Why do the 76ers keep coming up in my who to follow. i HATE basketball. NBA = N*ggers Bouncing Around #thatsracist.”

Last July, in response to an online poll about sexual habits, Biasiello tweeted, “Better make sure you’re on top when sleeping with a black guy… Otherwise it’s probably rape.”

Her @KrissiLoud account from which the offensive tweets originated has since been deleted, although Biasiello’s official account with the show — @MC4Krissi — is still active.
