CNN is reporting Anthony Bourdain dead at 61
- Thread starter Snake Eater
- Start date
...whose to say the family doesn't know? He was part of CNN, so i doubt they would publish without informing them. Additionally you don't see other networks breaking this news first because of his relation with CNN.
This one is crazy to me. I know Tony struggled in the past but he was such a family man that it would shock me if he didn't tell his family what he was going to do. As weird as that sounds.
Also he just got done with a new season of his show. Shit.

Jesus was in a great mood as the Caps finally won and now I read this shit. Damn. Was a big fan of his. He will be missed.
Pretty shocked by this, I watch his show religiously with my wife and always commented how he had the best job in the world, if I have to guess, drugs or depression got the better of him.
R.I.P Mr. Bourdain.

He committed suicide? Holy fucking shit. He may have fashioned himself as a asshole chef but I'm sad to hear he killed himself. I absolutely loved him and his shows never would have thought someone like him and how he carried himself would take his own life.
RIP.
RIP.
You know for sure that he was being selfish in this act?
You know depression fucks with your brain and how you perceive things, right? And that in his fucked up state he could have thought him killing himself was what would help his kid the most, right?
Fuck. RIP :( I've loved watching his show for years now, this is terrible. No idea he was so depressed, he seemed to have the dream job.
Wow, I loved his work on CNN. He seemed like a guy who saw the roughness of the world and persevered.
But I suppose like those facing such mental sorrows, the greatest roughness was one's own mind, the one we seldom even notice.
Deep condolences to those close to him.

I can't even process this. The man is one of the reasons I have the views on food and culture that I have now. He literally helped me grow up from being a picky eater to being one of the most adventurous people in my family and circle of friends. I still plan trips around his advice. Hell he is one of the reasons I am who I am today.
Fuck this timeline.
RIP.

I read all his books and made major life choices so that I could live in foreign countries due to his influence. Really sad about this.
He wrote about being suicidal in Medium Raw, I believe. That was a while ago but still, it doesn't go away easily.

This one is hitting in weird spots. He did a Parts Unknown in Nigeria a while back that I watched and it actually taught me a bit more about where I'm from, my people, and especially their music. I actually learned a lot from that episode. RIP to him and heart goes out to the family.
It really is a shame that so many feel its better to hide their demons and let them fester than open up to others and ask for help. Its not an easy thing to do with how our society views mental health issues, but it should not be this way. I wonder if he shared his struggles with family.

Yes, I have depression and anxiety. It's selfish to leave behind a kid, sorry if this is a controversial statement.
I always looked up to him, thought he had the best job in the world, travelling, eating great food, meeting great people. Here I am in my fucked up existence losing friends and jobs and it really puts perspective on all this. Even with money and success they world still fucking sucks.
Man, depression must be an absolute bitch if you're a rich, world renowned chef who travels the world eating the best foods imaginable, can live wherever you want comfortably and still decide to end it all. I can only imagine he was in some kind of serious pain for some reason, I can't wrap my head around it. Thats if the suicide bit is correct.
Holy shit... Anthony Bourdain was one of my favorite TV personalities. My fiance and I loved watching his Travel Channel and CNN shows. RIP
