CNN never gave the details of suicide when first reported. I changed the word had to has, in regards to his daughter. I believe there was mention of her being 11 years old. I'm wondering if the Berlin, Germany episode will Air tomorrow night. He always gave historical mention of all the places he visited. Berlin, Germany certainly has a history. Especially during and after WW2.


I would imagine CNN will run the new episode tomorrow - it's still on the schedule. CNN is running old episodes today all evening.

CNN's Anthony Bourdain has died in Strasbourg, France. He was a noted American Chef from NYC, skilled in the martial arts, and had a personality that many were attracted to. I've watched his show "Parts Unknown" with much enthusiasm. He was one of a kind. I can still remember some of his quotes on places he visited. He said the greatest food was in San Sebastian. He loved war torn Beirut, and Hong Kong was a favorite city of his. The video of his shows were excellent, showing how inhabitants deal with everyday life, both rich and poor. And mentioning the City's history. If you were a still photographer, you would have loved to travel with Anthony Bourdain. RIP Anthony. You will be hard to replace. His next show was to take place in Berlin. I don't know if CNN will televise it. Suicide is reported as cause of death.

He was having trouble with his wife --- so that could be the straw that "broke the camel's back". Love can be as mean and bad as it can be kind and good! I will miss his shows.

Accolades from all over the world have followed his death. So sad. You just never know what demons are hiding in people's brains.

Bourdain showed us the world beyond most of our reach. He even returned to some cities to show us what advancements they made from his first visit. And he sought out individuals he met during his first visit. Being from NYC, he was the city's icon. The foods he ate were incredible looking. And some not so incredible looking. That's what made it so interesting to me. To see the cuisines of the world.

I think it’s so unfair when people like him take their lives. Not only does it effect family but people like myself cause I like to relate to his travels and all the people he touch. Think of the people who will be out of a job because he didn’t think of the impact it has on everybody else. I understand he had problems, so does everybody else, life goes on. I don’t know to be sad or mad.

I just think of how much pain they must be in to take their lives.

The one food Anthony Bourdain would not eat was Commercial Airlines Food. He said he would always arrive at his destination hungry, even if the flight was 16+ hours. He said that in 2016. CNN, his employer, has done a magnificent job in paying homage to his legacy. I watched 3 previous episodes the cable network showed last night. Two of which I had not seen. The Japan visit was the one I had seen. Enjoyed it again.
