September 5, 2005 -- FORMER ESPN reporter Adrian Karsten, facing a prison tax rap, was found dead, an apparent suicide, in his Wisconsin home, officials said yesterday.
Cops declined to provide details but Karsten's ex-wife told The Post that investigators have labeled it a suicide.
Karsten pleaded guilty in July to failing to report about $607,000 in income he made as a sideline reporter for ESPN college football games between 1999 and 2002.
He was sentenced to serve 11 months in prison and nine months home confinement.
He was supposed to report to a federal lockup in Rochester, Minn., last Thursday but never showed up, his ex-wife said. — David K. Li
