Police say they don't suspect foul play, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. No cause of death has been officially reported, but a friend tells Radar that Hug, who had been battling "personal demons," drove himself into the desert and shot himself in the head. The 35-year-old Hug, who competed on the ABC reality show last year, was reported missing early this week after he failed to show up as expected at a restaurant owned by his family in Palm Desert. An aerial search was conducted after his Jeep was found on a park access road. Read These Next Of AI-driven Ukraine drones, 'I think we created the monster.'
