Star Chef, writer Anthony Bourdain dies at 61

American chef, writer and television personality Anthony Bourdain was found dead in his hotel room Friday in France. CNN confirmed his death. The media company called his death a suicide.

Bourdain was 61 years old. He was in France working on his CNN series about food traditions around the world.

Media cameras are seen outside Le Chambard Hotel in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, where Bourdain was found dead on France, June 8, 2018. Bourdain gained fame after the publication in 2000 of his best-selling book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly.

The book combined details of his life and career with observations on the food and restaurant business. It was both serious and funny and appealed to a wide group of readers, although it was written for people working in the food service industry.

Bourdain’s popularity grew wider in 2005, as the star of the Travel Channel show No Reservations. The show was broadcast for nine seasons. Bourdain gained an even larger international following after the launch of his CNN series Parts Unknown.

CNN chief executive Jeff Zucker sent a note to employees about Bourdain’s death.

“Tony was an exceptional talent. A storyteller. A gifted writer. A world traveler. An adventurer. He brought something to CNN that no one else had ever brought before,” Zucker wrote in the letter. “This is a very, very sad day.”

President Donald Trump was among those shocked and saddened by the news.
