Anthony Bourdain dead of an apparent suicide

CNN's Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 - CNN

 

God damnit. RIP.

 

Fuck. That sucks

 

This fucking sucks.

 

I’m shocked, this is horrible. RIP

 

:(

 

Wow that's rough. RIP.

 

Holy shit.

 

Seeing this happen with Bourdain is very discouraging, like mental illness never goes away

Rest in peace

 

Tony brought joy to a lot of people. I am genuinely bummed to hear this. Watching his shows was like comfort food for me. It was a reliable show I could put on when I wanted to take my mind off of stuff. I've watched almost every episode of all his shows and always look forward to new ones being released. He brought a different perspective from the typical travel/food show.

His books were great too - I knew he had demons, but my impression from the outside was that he had left them in his past.

My heart goes out to his wife and daughter.

edit -

just a reminder for anyone in a bad headspace who needs to talk to someone:

I am devastated.

I loved Bourdain and felt a real connection with him through his books and tv show.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

 

This is awful. He inspired so many people.

 

Fuck.

 

I’m crushed. I’ve watched every episode of his shows since No Reservations began on Travel Channel in 05, most of them with my family. It played a part in getting me interested and aware in international issues which is how I’ve eventually ended up here.

The humanistic threads that ran through his work I hope did a lot of good in making people more understanding, sympathetic of the other. I’m extremely fortunate it shaped me at a young age.

This isn’t the peak of the sadness I’ll feel on this one.

 

This is crushing

 

I’m devastated

 

So horrible

 

This sucks. I really enjoyed Parts Unknown and he seemed like a very high spirited guy. Such a sad way to go. RIP

 

I’m totally stunned and heartbroken. Found out from a facebook post right when I woke up. His work has always been so important to me for the way he carried himself and showed such a different side of cooking and eating compared to most major programs. And he has been such an important voice during MeToo supporting Asia and calling people out to do better. I’m just so sickened for him and his family. This is a really tough loss.

 

Deeply pained by losing Bourdain. I've held such a sincere respect for him and everything he's done - he's always felt, to me, like the perfect example of a man who constantly betters himself and wants the world to do better for each other. I truly cannot believe he's gone and I've spent most of this morning just wishing it wasn't true. Truly, truly heartbreaking.

 

This is absolutely heartbreaking

 

I work a couple blocks from Brasserie Les Halles and a memorial has popped up. One bouquet was placed by a gentleman in a chef’s jacket. So heartbreaking.
