\n Local weekend forecaster Kelly\u00a0Plasker died suddenly over the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS IN US ADULTS NEARLY DOUBLED IN JUNE, CDC SAYS\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a bright spot in our weekend mornings, and in our\u00a0lives,\u201c\u00a0the narrator said.\u00a0\u201cKelly\u00a0Plasker, KCBD\u2019s\u00a0weekend morning forecaster, a dedicated member of the KCBD weather staff and a beloved co-worker for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn her three years on air, she showed us her passion for weather, which came through in her forecasts that kept us all safe and prepared for the day ahead.\u00a0She showed her heart and her love, for which we will all be thankful\u00a0for.\u00a0From the KCBD family to Kelly, we share our sympathies. We\u2019re grateful for the time we shared with Kelly and the joy she shared with us,\u201d\u00a0the tribute continued.<\/p>\n

Wilbanks, who did not indicate cause of death,\u00a0then read the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to\u00a0viewers.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperts say stopping suicide means increasing the conversations about mental and emotional health. They say to reach out for help, so ask for help if you\u2019re struggling or\u00a0have had thoughts of suicide,\u201d Wilbanks said. \u201cEveryone should educate themselves on warning\u00a0signs for\u00a0those we love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to her death, Plasker posted a lengthy Facebook message<\/a>, saying her “brain is broken” after sharing a personal story about a high school band director who she said preyed upon her for years.<\/p>\n

“Thanks all I needed to get out there as my final confession for the sins I am responsible for adding to the cross,” she wrote. “I love you my friends. My brain is broken and I cannot take it anymore.”<\/p>\n

Plasker\u2019s\u00a019-year-old son, Thomas,\u00a0committed\u00a0suicide<\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n

KCBD vice president Dan Jackson posted a statement on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Grief counselors have been made available to all members of the KCBD family struggling with this heartbreaking news.”<\/p>\n
