"Next Great Baker": Wesley Durden Eliminated Monday Night, TLC Announces He Committed Suicide in October

A tragic twist came at the end of Monday night’s episode of Next Great Baker. The TLC series broke some tough news to fans. Wesley Durden, an Army veteran and contestant on the show, was not just eliminated from the show; he died.
Making the news even more difficult to stomach, he didn’t die this past week. Durden died of a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound in October, but the network kept his death a secret until his elimination.
The 28-year-old was found dead off of Reilly Road in Fayetteville, N.C. He left behind his 7-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter.
