Anthony Bourdain, RIP

Anthony Bourdain, the chef who became a world-traveling storyteller, has died at age 61, according to CNN.

Bourdain died in France, where he was working on an episode of his CNN show, “Parts Unknown.”

In a statement, CNN said:

“It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.”

According to the network, the cause of death was suicide.

Big bummer. I'm a huge fan of his work and his approach to it. RIP, sir.

I wonder if the suicide was the result of a diagnosis.

Suggest you educate yourself about depression.

RIP, Mr. Bourdain.
