I am very to read this morning from someone’s blog on the web that one of the contestants from last season (season 2), Rachel Brown had passed away.

she was the lady that was 39 years of age, short blonde hair and was close with Heather, any of you remember?

Anyway…It said her death was under investigation and no knows how she died.

Very sad.......... If any of you know how she past away, please let me know.

A memorial service will be held today for Oak Cliff chef Rachel Brown, who gained fame last summer as a contestant on the Fox reality series Hell's Kitchen. Ms. Brown, 41, was found dead in her family's Bedford home May 9.

Ms. Brown's body was discovered in her bed, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office. The cause of death was a gunshot wound, but the circumstances are still under investigation, a spokesman said.

Over the past 11 years, she worked in the food and hospitality industry and ran a catering company, Chefs on Call, in Oak Cliff. She had also worked as a personal chef and as a teacher of children's cooking classes at Sur La Table, a culinary specialty shop in Dallas.

During the second season of Hell's Kitchen, Ms. Brown was eliminated in the fifth episode but came back in the last show to assist Heather West in her final victory.

She is survived by her parents, Claude K. and V. Lianne Brown of Bedford; her brother, Durward Brown; her sisters, Sarah York, Mary Brown and Elizabeth Smesny; and five nephews and three nieces.

The memorial service is set for 2 p.m. at Lucas Funeral Home, 1321 Precinct Line Road in Hurst.

Nadia, I remember her somewhat. When I read your post I instantly thought I remembered her and then was sure when I checked further . I watched the show off and on so I don't remember all of the contestants very well.

I found her photo at www.pegasunews.com. The article said she left behind a girlfriend and 2 cats.

Oh Man!!!!!!!! That IS a huge shock!!! How very sad!!
