‘Hell’s Kitchen’ deaths: The full list of chefs we have sadly lost over the years

Over the 18 seasons of “Hell Kitchen,” fans of the reality competition show have watched countless chefs split into two teams and compete for the job of a head chef of a restaurant under the tutelage of an often hot-headed host Gordon Ramsay. Many of the winners who withstood the heat have gone on to have successful careers. But six of the participants we once rooted for are no longer with us. Here are the chefs who have died since appearing on the cooking series that first premiered in 2005:

— Rachel Brown (Season 2): This hard-working personal chef ranked seventh and offered herself up for elimination many times. Her performance took a dive after her friend Heather West, the winner of the season, left the red team. Brown, 41, would commit suicide by shotgun in her Bedford, Texas, home in May 2007.

— Jessica Vogel (Season 12): This passionate participant ranked 12th on her season. Vogel, a line cook, would often break down in tears and her performance in the kitchen was inconsistent. The Spring Lake, New Jersey, native died at age 34 in July 2018 from ulcerative colitis.
