CHICAGO (WLS) -- A member of the Chicago media community who was reported missing has died from apparent suicide, his family said.
Kevin Spencer, 34, worked for the information technology department at NBC 5.

His family said he died by suicide and asked for privacy at this time and issued a statement saying, " Thank you all for your help and concern in trying to find Kevin. It is with a heavy heart that I share that he is no longer with us. While we don't have all the answers, we ask for privacy and respect as we process this devastating loss. Please keep his loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time."
