We were extremely saddened to report yet another tragic celebrity death on Friday when it was confirmed that Anthony Bourdain died at 61 of apparent suicide.
The celebrated chef’s fans and friends were just as devastated to hear the news, and immediately took to Twitter to mourn.

Many were at a loss for words in response to Bourdain’s apparent suicide, including fans like Busy Philipps and Carson Daly. Fellow chef Gordon Ramsay was “stunned” by his peer’s sudden passing.
Most responders put an emphasis on the chef’s mental health, using this as an opportunity to encourage their followers to get help if they, too, were considering suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Anthony. One of my idols. Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now 🙁

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. RIP. It illustrates that success is not immune to depression. We all need to be more aware of our friends who are suffering
