Sad, always liked his shows and outlook on other cultures. Safe travels Tony and there will be no more parts unknown.

https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/News/anthony-bourdain-dies-61/story?id=55744428CNN reported that Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode for his show when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning.
Police in Strasbourg, France, where Bourdain was reportedly on location, told ABC News they "did not immediately have information about the death."
Shocking and sad.
Apparent suicide. He was in France working on an episode for his show. Found unresponsive in his hotel. Other than that, not other details.

I wonder why they say “apparent suicide” when all they report was that he was found unresponsive the next morning, and the police say they have no information.
Well, we know reporting on these kinds of things is unreliable at first.

Very sad indeed. Always enjoyed his interactions on his shows.
Right away I wonder was he on one of those prescription medications with "thoughts of suicide" side effects listed during the commercials I see running rampant on TV. Seems this is becoming more and more common is our pharma-culture.
RIP Mr Bourdain.
I think he was a complicated soul with a long and varied history. I have known a couple of folks who committed suicide and neither one of the showed ANY of the signs that you are warned about over and over and over about.
Ridiculous. "Whenever?" So, every time?Whenever I see these sudden, unexpected cases of suicide with no apparent motivation it seems sooner or later word gets out of a period of serious drug use in the past.
+2. I’ve been a fan since Kitchen Confidential and all his food/culture/travel shows thereafter. A unique perspective and storytelling style, all the more interesting as he aged out of the drug culture. His appreciation of ALL cultures is sorely lacking in the USA, we need much more of that IMO. Sad.
Did he not admit to doing tons of drugs at one time? Whenever I see these sudden, unexpected cases of suicide with no apparent motivation it seems sooner or later word gets out of a period of serious drug use in the past. Sometimes distant past. The old public service announcement with the egg in the frying pan. "Your brain on drugs." Just because you seem to be fine today and can say "Hey, I finally cleaned up my act" there could be a some indelible fingerprints on your brain. Little time bombs waiting to go off.

He was in excellent physical shape the last couple years because his former wife Ottavia turned him on to (Brazilian) Jiu Jitsu and a much healthier lifestyle in 2014. He worked out every day, and was probably far healthier in 2018 than he was before 2014.I thought he looked very haggard and thin the last couple years. Medical problem?
