00:00
Anthony Bourdain has been found dead in a hotel room in France at 61 years old.
00:04
CNN Bourdain's employer reported that the celebrity chef, writer and TV host took his own life.
00:09
The news of his passing was confirmed early Friday by CNN.
00:13
It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague Anthony Bourdain.
00:18
His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world
00:23
made him a unique storyteller. His talents never cease to amaze us and we will miss him very much.
00:28
Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.
00:33
Bourdain was in Strasbourg, France working on an episode for the 11th season of his award-winning CNN
00:38
original series Parts Unknown, which he's hosted for five years.
00:41
According to CNN, his close friend and chef Eric Repair found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning.
00:47
The show's production crew was also there.
00:50
It's just a horrible, horrible shock on every level because on his show there is a celebration of life
00:55
and all different cultures, said CNN host of New Day Alison Camerota atop the show's 8am hour.
01:00
The idea that he was suffering somehow is really heartbreaking.
01:03
Camerota also praised her colleague for being open about his history with drug addiction.
01:07
She said,
01:08
The idea that he was able to share some of his demons, that he fought drug addiction and that he fought heroin, everyone really appreciates.
01:16
Because to know that someone went through it and came out the other side is really helpful.
01:20
Obviously, I think all of us wish that we had known whatever was happening in the past days.
01:25
Alongside best-selling books, Bourdain hosted the Food Network's A Cook's Tour
01:29
and the Emmy-winning Anthony Bourdain No Reservations for the Travel Channel before moving to CNN.
01:34
Bourdain was in a relationship with Italian actress and filmmaker Asia Argento, whom he met on Parts Unknown.
01:40
Argento was one of the women who came forward with their stories of alleged abuse at the hands of Harvey Weinstein.
01:45
Bourdain said he was proud to know Argento and that she had done the hardest thing in the world.
01:50
Bourdain wrote in a June 2 column for The Hollywood Reporter about the most intensely satisfying experience of his professional life,
01:56
which was working on Parts Unknown's Hong Kong episode that was directed by Argento.
02:01
The news of Bourdain's passing comes just days after 55-year-old fashion designer Kate Spade took her own life.
02:06
The CDC recently released a report that suicide rates are up by 30 percent across the nation since 1999.
02:13
Many of Bourdain's peers and fans took to social media on early Friday morning to mourn the loss of the beloved TV host.
02:19
Rose McGowan posted a tearful video urging anyone considering suicide to seek help.
02:24
And she wrote,
02:25
Anthony, I am so mad at you. You are so loved. The world is not better without you.
02:29
I have a message for those considering suicide as a solution to a temporary problem.
02:33
Please call a hotline. Please reach out. RC needed you, Anthony. We needed you. Please come back.
02:40
NBC's Megyn Kelly wrote,
02:42
Incredibly sad news about Anthony Bourdain. Sending so much love to his family, including his CNN family who must be hurting terribly today.
02:49
If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, please remember, help is right here. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255.
02:59
And Bourdain's CNN colleague Poppy Harlow remembered her friend with a tweet saying,
03:03
I will never forget Anthony Bourdain's smile and laugh. Anthony was the warmest presence when he walked in any room.
03:08
He taught us all so much about culture, life and living each day fully. You will be dearly missed, Anthony.
03:14
CNN's Christine Amanpour posted this,
03:17
My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain. May he rest in peace now.
03:20
He was a friend, a collaborator and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice and deeply, deeply human.
03:27
My heart goes out to his daughter and family and his longtime partners and friends at ZPZ.
03:32
If you, a loved one or anyone you know is struggling with depression or showing warning signs of suicidal behaviour,
