In 2007, during an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay told New Jersey restaurateur Joseph Cerniglia that his business was about to “swim down the Hudson”.
Today it is being reported that Cerniglia, a 39-year-old father of three, has committed suicide after he jumped off the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson river. Cerniglia’s body was found floating in the river around 3pm Friday, just hours after a passer-by had phoned police to report he had seen a man jump from the bridge.
Police have not officially ruled his death a suicide, but have said they do not believe any ‘criminality’ was involved.
Cerniglia had said on the 2007 show that he owed $80,000 to his suppliers.
