Bob Richards (meteorologist)

Bob Richards (meteorologist)

Robert "Bob" Richards ( 1957- March 23, 1994), born Robert L. Schwartz, was a popular personality on KSDK-TV in St. Louis, Missouri, where he worked as chief meteorologist, from 1983 until his death in 1994. He grew up in Bloomfield, New Jersey

Richards' death resulted from a plane crash, which is thought to have been suicide; Richards was tormented and embarrassed that news of his affair was increasingly becoming public. So, on the night of March 23, 1994, Richards took-off from Spirit of St. Louis Airport and flew his plane into the ground.
