Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain found dead in France at 61

On June 8, 2018, 61-year-old celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain was found dead at a hotel in France, ruled suicide by hanging. Despite his massive success and role in exposing the unsavory secrets of the culinary underworld, the "original rock star" of the kitchen struggled with his own demons.

Bourdain's past heroin addiction may have been resolved, but his mental health continued to trouble him. He often discussed death, suicide, depression, and a darkness he couldn't shake, leading him to choose what experts called an "impulsive act."

Anthony Michael Bourdain (/bɔːrˈdeɪn/; June 25, 1956 – June 8, 2018) was an American celebrity chef, author, and travel documentarian who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition.

Bourdain was a 1978 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and a veteran of many professional kitchens during his career, which included several years spent as an executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan. He first became known for his bestselling book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (2000)

In early June 2018, Bourdain was working on an episode of Parts Unknown in Strasbourg, with his frequent collaborator and friend Éric Ripert.

On June 8, Ripert became worried when Bourdain had missed dinner and breakfast. He subsequently found Bourdain dead of an apparent suicide by hanging in his room at Le Chambard hotel in Kaysersberg near Colmar.

Bourdain's body bore no signs of violence and the suicide appeared to be an impulsive act. Rocquigny du Fayel disclosed that Bourdain's toxicology results were negative for narcotics, showing only a trace of a therapeutic non-narcotic medication. Bourdain's body was cremated in France on June 13, 2018, and his ashes were returned to the United States two days later.

Bourdain's mother, Gladys Bourdain, told The New York Times: "He is absolutely the last person in the world I would have ever dreamed would do something like this."

Following the news of Bourdain's death, various celebrity chefs and other public figures expressed sentiments of condolence. Among them were fellow chefs Andrew Zimmern and Gordon Ramsay, former astronaut Scott Kelly and then-U.S. president Donald Trump. CNN issued a statement, saying that Bourdain's "talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much." Former U.S. president Barack Obama, who dined with Bourdain in Vietnam on an episode of Parts Unknown, wrote on Twitter: "He taught us about food—but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown." On the day of Bourdain's death, CNN aired Remembering Anthony Bourdain, a tribute program.

In the days following Bourdain's death, fans paid tribute to him outside his now-closed former place of employment, Brasserie Les Halles.[140] Cooks and restaurant owners gathered together and held tribute dinners and memorials and donated net sales to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

In August 2018, CNN announced a final, posthumous season of Parts Unknown, completing its remaining episodes using narration and additional interviews from featured guests, and two retrospective episodes paying tribute to the series and Bourdain's legacy.

In June 2019, Éric Ripert and José Andrés announced the first Bourdain Day as a tribute to Bourdain. In the same month, the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) established a scholarship in Bourdain's honor.

A collection of Bourdain's personal items were sold at auction in October 2019, raising $1.8 million, part of which is to support the Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship at his alma mater, the Culinary Institute of America. The most expensive item sold was his custom Bob Kramer Steel and Meteorite Chef's knife, selling at a record $231,250.

In June 2021, a documentary film directed by Morgan Neville and produced by CNN Films and HBO Max titled Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.[148] It was released by Focus Features on July 16, 2021.

In October 2022, Down and Out in Paradise: The Life of Anthony Bourdain, an unauthorized biography of Bourdain, was published.

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...

Snowboarder's disappearance shrouds Mount Everest

Snowboarder's disappearance shrouds Mount Everest This is the last photo ever taken of Marco Siffredi — just before he died attempting to snowboard down Mount Everest. On September 8, 2002, the French daredevil reached the 29,000-foot summit of Earth's highest point. Though critically exhausted from the climb and the high altitude, Siffredi stood with his board perched over the precipice and decided to forge ahead with his plan. He strapped on a fresh oxygen tank, bid his Sherpa adieu, and began his descent — never to be seen again. Marco Siffredi (22 May 1979 – 8 September 2002) was a French snowboarder and mountaineer who hailed from a climbing family; his father was a mountain guide, and his older brother Pierre had died in an avalanche in their hometown of Chamonix, France.[1] Siffredi was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard, completing this feat in 2001 via the Norton Couloir.[2][3] In 2002, he disappeared after making his second Everest summit, while atte...

Reasons Why Older Men Date Younger Women

As a man that is in a relationship with a younger woman (as distinct from girl), l can probably say the following with some confidence and in no particular order: older women tend to be set in their ways older women tend to be less interested in sex older women are usually more autonomous and self reliant, which is a good thing as well as being more experienced when it come to accepting differences younger women have less life experiences and are generally more idealistic which plays to being less accommodating or accepting older men can see through certain behaviours to the resulting consequences with greater ease due to their own experiences and can thus, if they’re grown up enough, chose how to respond. This could piss some younger women off of course. it takes a particular type of younger woman, in terms of her emotional and intellectual maturity, to have a relationship of any consequence with an older chap. Some younger woman just prefer to be with someone that is more stable the ...

Why I Slept With My Husband's Boss

A true confessions of a lady who slept with her husband's boss. Should this be a reason to do such thing? If you were in her shoe, will you do the same? Grab a glass of whine as you read the narration of the whole story About five years ago my husband Daniel and I were struggling to pay our house rent after he’d been forced to change jobs and I’d taken time off work to have our first child. His new position, in the finance division of a major company, paid a lot less than his last job and we were going to the wall financially. It looked as if we were going to have to go to my parents for a big loan to make sure we were able to pay our house rent and from not ending up on the streets. Eventually, after six months of working himself nearly to death, a much better job came up in Daniel’s division. The salary and bonuses he would earn from the promotion would set us up for years and not only pay for the house but allow us a holiday and a few luxuries as well. I can’t underestimate ho...

"The skin hung from my back like a rugged cloth"

"The skin hung from my back like a rugged cloth" Sumiteru Taniguchi was 16 years old when the atomic bomb fell over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. He worked as a letter carrier when the blast threw him from his bicycle. He recalled: "When I woke up, the skin of my left arm from the shoulder to the tip of my fingers was trailing like a rag. I put my hand to my back and found my clothing was gone, and there was slimy, burnt skin all over my hand." The heat from the bomb had melted the skin on his back and left arm, he remembered that he did not feel any pain. Confused and disoriented, Taniguchi searched for help in the chaos: "Bodies burned black, voices calling for help from burning and collapsed buildings, people with flesh falling off and their guts falling out... This place became a sea of fire. It was hell." He stumbled upon a group of survivors which helped cutting off loose parts of the skin, and then carried to a hill to rest among other wounded. ...
