Joseph Cerniglia, whose body was found in New York's Hudson River late last week, is the second Gordon Ramsay reality show participant to commit suicide.

Rachel Brown, who competed on Ramsay's "Hell's Kitchen," shot herself to death in her family's Dallas home in 2007 -- one year after coming in fifth on the competition show that pits chefs against each other.

"I'm financially in trouble -- the debt of the restaurant alone is overwhelming. My personal debt -- wife, kids mortgage -- that's a lot of debt," he told Ramsay on the show. "I owe my purveyors about $80,000 right now in cold, hard cash... I can't see us going on another year."

Warned the British host ominously, "Your business is about to f---king swim down the Hudson."

After Ramsay renovated the restaurant and helped give the staffers pointers on how to run their business better, it grew more successful.
