A Texas weather forecaster has died after confessing her “sins”
in a devastating, final social media post, according to reports.

Kelly Plasker, a reporter with news station KCBD, shared a
“final confession for the sins I am responsible for” on Facebook
Sunday in which she alleged a teacher groomed her for a
relationship in high school.

“He was supposed to be somebody looking out for me, but instead
of looking out for me he looked at me in ways that men should
not look at children,” she wrote.

The same day, the news station confirmed the sudden death of
Plasker, who had worked there for three years.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic and sudden loss of KCBD
weekend morning forecaster Kelly Plasker,” vice president and
general manager Dan Jackson said in a statement.

“Kelly was a dedicated member of the KCBD weather staff, well-
liked by viewers, and admired by her co-workers. Our deepest
sympathies go out to Kelly’s family in this time of great loss.”

Though her cause of death wasn’t released, the network aired a
tribute that urged viewers to “ask for help if you’re struggling
or had thoughts of suicide,” People reported.

In her final post on Facebook, Plaskar appeared to allude to
mental health struggles.

“I love you my friends. My brain is broken and I cannot take it
anymore,” she wrote.
