Coby Mach

One day after announcing the end to his popular talk show on KLIN 1400 AM, Coby Mach has died.

Police confirmed Friday night that the 53-year-old Mach's death was a suicide.

Mach was found by a passerby at an intersection just before 5:45 p.m. Mach had a gun in his lap, according to passerby. The investigation is ongoing.

Mach hosted the KLIN-AM afternoon radio show “Drive Time Lincoln” and was a fixture of the local political scene, advocating conservative, pro-business policies.

“Tonight our family lost a husband, a father and a wonderful man with the passing of Coby Mach,” his family said in a written statement. “We ask for the community’s prayers as our family reflects on the life of a man we love.”

Mach started in radio as a 14-year-old and went on to work in Grand Island, Omaha and at KFOR in Lincoln before.
