DETROIT, MI. (THECOUNT) — FOX 2 Detroit announced the sad news Thursday morning that meteorologist Jessica Starr committed suicide.
Starr, 35, a Michigan native, reportedly leaves behind a husband and two children.
Starr had recently been off the air due to Lasik surgery which she documented on social media videos.
FOX 2 said, “All of us here at FOX 2 are in deep shock and cannot believe that such a wonderful, bright and intelligent individual will no longer be with us. Her family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days as we all deal with our grief.”
On October 12, she posted on Facebook, “Lasik SMILE went well! Still foggy vision but I can SEE!”
On November 13, she posted a Facebook Live that said, “I’m back but still healing…”
The next day she posted to social media, “Update: yesterday was a struggle for me. I really wanted to come back but I need more time to recover. Please keep me in your thoughts during this challenging time. Will keep you updated.” source
