#ANTHONYBOURDAIN
US celebrity chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain has been found dead in his hotel room, aged 61, of a suspected suicide.
@Daniel_rapaport said: “I’ve heard so many people say if they could have one job it would be Anthony Bourdain’s. It goes to show that absolutely no one is immune to issues of mental health. Tremendously sad”
@Dcampoamor
commented: “My family invited Anthony Bourdain into our home every week. And every week he took us around the world, trying new foods and speaking to new people and discovering new cultures. His writing, humor, and candor always reminding me of home. I’m heartbroken”
@andrewzimmern said: “A piece of my heart is truly broken. And the cruel irony is that the last year he’d never been happier.”
@Gordonramsay added: “I am stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food. Remember that help is a phone call away”
