"Storm Chasers" star Matt Hughes died in Kansas on May 26 after trying to take his own life, a fact not widely publicized until after Discovery Channel aired his final episode Wednesday night, reports The Hollywood Reporter. 

Hughes also worked as a meteorologist on Wichita’s KAKE-TV, an ABC affiliate. He is survived by his wife and two sons, and more than 500 people attended his funeral. Hughes’ final episode was called "Dedication" and followed him on his last storm chase, the story says.
