Anthony Bourdain: Shocking Suicide Details Revealed
This morning, the world awoke to the tragic news that Anthony Bourdain had passed away at the age of 61.
“Celebrity chef” is the descriptor that’s used most often in reference to Bourdain, but it’s a woefully inadequate encapsulation of a career that brought him to the farthest reaches of the globe and into the lives of millions of fans.
Bourdain may have been a chef first and foremost, but he was also a writer and world traveler, a restaurateur and a raconteur.
The news that he took his own life comes as an almost unimaginable shock, not only because the food world has lost one of its most beloved figures, but also because Bourdain was a man whose talent for delighting in everything that life had to offer was one of his defining traits.
We may never get a satisfactory answer to the question of what drove Bourdain to despair in his final hours, and the details that have emerged thus far have only served to deepen the mystery.
What we know so far is that Bourdain was in northeastern France shooting an episode of his CNN series Parts Unknown.
He was in the company of his longtime friend and fellow world-famous chef Eric Ripert.
“I like to bring the distinguished three-star Michelin chef and good friend Eric Ripert someplace every year and torture him,“ Bourdain once said of his lifelong traveling companion.
A police report obtained by Page Six indicates that Bourdain died by hanging, and it was Ripert who discovered his body.
“We learned this morning about the death by hanging of an American chef at a luxury hotel of Kaysersberg, Le Chambard,” a prosecutor in Kaysersberg-Vignoble told French newspaper Dernière Nouvelle D’alsace.
“At this point, nothing suggests the intervention of a third party.”
Details remain scarce, but it is believed that Bourdain did not leave a note.
At the time of his passing, Bourdain was dating actress Asia Argento, and those who knew the couple best reported that they were madly in love with one another.
Argento was reportedly in Rome at the time of Bourdain’s death.
In the hours before his passing, she posted an Instagram story in which she can be seen wearing a t-shirt that reads, “F— EVERYONE.”
She captioned the image, “You know who you are.”
Many have taken the post as an indicator of trouble in the relationship, but just moments ago, Argento posted a loving trbute to her departed life partner:
“Anthony gave all of himself in everything he did,” Argento wrote.
“His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds.”
She added:
“He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated. My thoughts are with his family. I would ask that you respect their privacy and mine.”
All across the internet, fans, fellow chefs, and a legion of adoring fans have been paying tribute to Bourdain, a man whose adventurous life and legacy will surely continue to serve as an inspiration for generations of food lovers and travelers.
“We ask very simple questions: What makes you happy? What do you eat? What do you like to cook?” Bourdain said while accepting a Peabody Award for his work in 2013.
“And everywhere in the world we go and ask these very simple questions, we tend to get some really astonishing answers.”
Bourdain’s love of food was matched only by his love of people, and his generous spirit will be greatly missed.

Anthony Bourdain Dead of Apparent Suicide; Celebrity Chef Was 61
Stunning news out of the food world today, as beloved celebrity chef, restaurateur, and TV personality Anthony Bourdain has passed away at the age of 61.
The news was confirmed this morning by Bourdain’s home network, CNN.
The outlet has revealed that the cause of death appears to be suicide.
“It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain,” CNN said in a statement.
“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.”
Sources say Bourdain was filming an episode of Parts Unknown in France, where he was found unresponsive in his hotel room by fellow chef and longtime friend Eric Ripert.
There was perhaps no greater star in the food world than Bourdain, who first rose to prominence outside the New York restaurant scene with the publication of his 2000 book, Kitchen Confidential.
He went on to author two more bestselling books and host several popular TV series, including No Reservations, The Layover, and Parts Unknown.
Bourdain’s trademark wit and erudite commentary have been widely imitated but never duplicated, as his adventurous lifestyle and observations about food, travel, and the world around him attracted a larger and more diverse audience than any previously enjoyed by a celebrity chef.
In recent months, Bourdain became an outspoken supporter of the #MeToo movement, largely as a result of his relationship with actress Asia Argento, an alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein’s.
News of his passing comes just days after the death of fashion designer Kate Spade, who also took her own life.
On social media friends, fans, and fellow celebrities are paying tribute and expressing shock over the death of a man whose jet-setting, epicurean lifestyle made him the envy of millions.
“According to AFSP, there are nearly 45,000 suicides every year in the US. Shocking. I was saddened to hear of the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain,” tweeted actor Bryan Cranston.
“RIP. It illustrates that success is not immune to depression. We all need to be more aware of our friends who are suffering.”
Anthony Bourdain is survived by a daughter from his second marriage.
Our thoughts are with his family during this tremendously difficult time.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
