Awful. Fresh Air interviewed him not too long ago. I remember he said the most important thing in his life is cooking his daughter breakfast in the morning. Tragic that little girl no longer has her father.

This is a a shocker to me. No Reservations and Parts Unknown were some of my favorite shows. He opened my eyes to food and other cultures in a way that made it fun and educational. You will be sorely missed.

This is crazy.
When you see people that appear to have it all do this it is very disturbing.
Millions of people would have left their entire life behind in a second to have this guys job and here he is ending his own life.
Sad

WTF is happening in this world? He had the resources to get help if he was dealing with depression or a substance abuse problem. People need to think about how this impacts their childrens lives afterwards.
I was a bourdain fan but this was a senseless tragedy, especially for his young daughter. Truly sad.

Totally wrecked by this. Tony was the perfect TV star. The guy playing the most interesting man in the world on television was interviewed once and asked what's it like being the most interesting man in the world, he said I don't know, go ask Anthony Bourdain.

Please get help. As you are not alone. As first it was Kate Spade. Now Anthony Bourdain. As never take it lightly. If you feel there are red flags. Call this number if you or someone you love fear those thoughts of suicide. 24/7!
