BREAKING Anthony Bourdain dead from suicide at 61

[BigMan]

This guy introduced me to so many places
He gave great profiles to countries that are usually avoided or stereotypes
Damn shame

RIP

Sounds fishy....

Bourdain seemed like a pretty cool dude. The last person you'd think would hang himself.

I know Bourdain's girlfriend Asia Argento gave fuel to the #metoo movement as well as Bourdain himself. Is this retaliation?

Truly hurt by this...a beautiful raw human being.

I loved the honestly of his show...

 

[ultraflexed]

There are great people in the world, he was one of them.

Cac chef that had a decent travel show and seemed cool who these fakkits will wax poetic about. Meanwhile this thread already has more posts than when Maya Angelou died.

i wanted to tell you go fuk yourself but i can’t even say sh!t cuz the bottomline is, whether I’m a Bourdain fan or not, nothing you just typed is a lie.. you’re speaking facts

It’s crazy, breh got paid to travel the world and eat food

You just never know sometimes

This. People would have killed to do his job for one day/week. On the surface, you look at him and you're like, "He travels the world. Eats great food. Experiences so many different cultures. He's truly living his best life and is living a full life." You struggle to understand what/where things had gone so south to where doing two of the top 4-6 things that seem to make EVERYBODY happy (especially in this Instagram culture) every day no longer make him happy. His job was to live out the dreams of a lot of people, when you really think about it, and it wasn't enough.

Like, he's "supposed" to be happy with his life. He's "supposed" to have no complaints. And he wasn't. Instead he lost a battle that nobody knew, nor had reason to suspect he was fighting.

Sobering shyt to think about. There's more to life than experiences, and I don't know if the current society understands that yet.

Come again? This is news to me since dude seem like the most sane out of all the TV food dudes beyond Bourdain.

Some cac red head named zimmerman.... the one who was talking shyt all over twitter... I didn't even know who he was...

Like i said Ramsey be acting the same way when he talk off camera, mad depressed... and sad.

 

[Listen]

he showed love to black countries and cultures . I think saw the Ethiopia episode he had a chef from there who is well known now on tv.

Breh would just plop down at peoples houses in Somalia, Ethiopia, Lagos like nothing.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Damn R.I.P to the man..I fukked with him
His D.R episode was fire

 

[FSP]

I'm not going to pretend to understand this man's demons, but that's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you're hurt, please try to get help!

That's what's always said...but from my own experiences, feelings, thoughts of suicide is a perpetual issue that doesnt go away. This dude was 61. I guarantee you he's been fighting that demon for decades, and wasn't something that just popped up in his head the last 24 hours. It's more like OCD than simple depression.

 

[BigMan]

His Senegal and Trinidad episodes was super dope

 

[Paradise50]

With his age, gender, and race + his bouts with alcoholism, I'm sure he did receive help.

I've seen a lot of white older males with depression so chronic that medications are ineffective. Usually there's a comorbidity of chronic pain that is associated with it sometimes too. The only treatment that usually helps is ECT. That shyt is amazing ....literally have them from being
to to

RIP. Depression is a disease y’all. Doesn’t matter how good or bad your life is, it’s a chemical imbalance that you really have no control over. Meds don’t really help that much. It’s like putting bleach on a stain, covers it up but doesn’t really clean it.
