They say suicides are up; with all the snowflakes out there I don't get why this is news.

Has anyone read how he killed himself?

Was he terminally ill?

Go try your wit somewhere else, nobody finds you amusing.

that's a good question.

My feeling is that we all know we are all slowly dying and we're all suffering in one way or another so it's not really a valid rationalization to me.

Nevertheless, I know what you are getting at. In light of the suicide crisis we have, if a terminal patient is mentally fit, then they should not choose suicide just to avoid the human condition [of suffering this mortal coil].

Arent we all?

You even try to politicize suicide you really are lonely, hateful & stuck in a downward spiral

For someone selling their writing skills, your reading skills need work.

What part of my comment even hinted that I was trying to be funny?

He's one of the oldest pieces of shit GFY has ever seen.

I'm seriously asking. Maybe he found out he had a terminal disease and decided to end it. I'm sure that happens a lot.

let's not forget about that stranglebation or wtfever it's called.

still suicide i guess though.

What makes you think he was into that?

I'm capable and I am no stranger to depression. In fact I'm willing to bet everything i have that i have endured far more hardships and pain in my life that he would have in 1000 lifetimes so don't come in here and pretend that you 'get it' and the rest of us don't because we are some how ignorant of all this.

None of us here have allusions that happiness automatically comes with travel and seeing the world and it can't happen if you stay in the same place. However having access to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING for a long time has its fucking access to happiness a lot easier than being poor does. If you don't think so than you haven't been rich or you haven't been poor long enough to 'get it' yourself....

Nobody here cares what you think

Degenerates are into that sort of thing.

I agree with you in most circumstances it is the most selfish act one can perform, but I also think if someone thinks they are about the be a burden on others then it becomes more of a selfless act.

I've known quite a few terminal people in my life, and although none committed suicide I would not have faulted them one bit.

it hadn't occurred to me at all until the other posters earlier pointed it out. But his age would make me think it might be possible. It's my understanding it helps achieve orgasm when that's difficult, like it would probably be at 61 years old.

just discussing, not assuming.

This hateful fake nic should be blocked by everyone until it's banned

I hear ya. I couldn't sit here and argue against it in that sitch either. I would prolly feel different if suicide weren't such an epidemic right now.

I don't think having access to everything and anything makes you happier, nope. I know it's just a cliche, but that's why they say ignorance is bliss, and there's definitely some truth to that.

Statements like that make it hard to take you seriously. What do you know about Tony Bourdaine to make you think you've worked harder or suffered more than him?

What's it like having no credibility whatsoever?

Poor CNN ratings will just keep sinking. Parts Unknown was the only thing on CNN Fake News that was worth watching :2 cents:

Couldn't having access to anything and everything work to make it actually worse?

If a person is depressed or has some other issue that could lead them to suicide, sure having money and access could help them find happiness for a while, but then once you have seen and done everything it feels like knowing there is nothing left out there to make you happy could be worse.

Good point :2 cents:

Several people in this thread are complete morons.

Yeah, like you there ukrop depot

He used to use cocaine and H. Probably went out like all the celebrities do speed ballin.

Wouldn't be a bad way to go at least he went out high , if that's how he went when deciding to hang himself.

Fucker had more success in this life then all the posters combined.

May he find his peace, may his family find their closer, and I hope that this will all blow over with little repercussion and respect.

God damn....Webmaster?????

He, too, hanged himself. NO mention of a note yet. His suicide proves people appear happy, they have it all, life seems perfect .... you never know what people go through in their life. When I came out of my coma and saw the future and everything gone, I felt like “why the fuck should I go on half-living and nothing left.” But I stayed strong even though always in pain. Ten years later I’m developing a new business project though I have amnesia. I’m determined not to give up. Anthony obviously was going through something stronger than him. RIP.

Selfish? In a way, yes. You'd end your pain. Friends and family deal with the pain of your loss forever, blame themselves and wish they could have helped had they known. You’re thinking only of you

What makes you think anyone cares what your lying ass says?

I must have touched a nerve, don't go hang yourself over it.

You're very upset right now, do you have the suicide hotline number handy? Don't kill yourself over people sharing their views about a guy who killed himself.

This is fucked up, RIP

Anthony Bourdain’s Shocked Mother Speaks Out After Son's Apparent Suicide: 'He Had Everything'

Anthony Bourdain’s mother is in complete shock over her son’s apparent suicide at age 61.

Speaking with the New York Times, hours after news of his death, Gladys Bourdain said she had no indication that her child might have been thinking of suicide.

“He is absolutely the last person in the world I would have ever dreamed would do something like this,” she told the publication, which was a longtime editor for.

On Friday, longtime friend and renowned chef Eric Ripert found the Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown host unresponsive in his hotel room in France.

Gladys spoke to Ripert following her son’s sudden death and Ripert told her “Tony had been in a dark mood these past couple of days.”


Gladys also shared she had “no idea why” her son might have decided to kill himself.

“He had everything. Success beyond his wildest dreams. Money beyond his wildest dreams,” she told the Times.

Ripert was in France with Anthony to film an upcoming episode of the award-winning show Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

“Anthony was a dear friend,” Ripert said in a statement to PEOPLE. “He was an exceptional human being, so inspiring and generous. One of the great storytellers of our time who connected with so many. I wish him peace. My love and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones.”

The last photo Anthony shared of his mother was one from his childhood which also featured his brother Christopher.

“In retrospect, I blame this matching shorts and knee socks incident for the decades of bad decision making that followed. #ChildhoodTrauma,” he captioned the black and white portrait of the family of three on Instagram in December 2016.

A police spokesperson in Strasbourg, France, confirmed Bourdain’s death to PEOPLE, but would not confirm the cause of death. The manner of death has been classified as a suicide.

Additionally, Colmar, France, public prosecutor Christian de Rocquigny du Fayel told PEOPLE that Bourdain died by hanging at a luxury hotel in Kaysersberg called Le Chambard, and said, “at this stage, nothing suggests the intervention of a third party.”

In a statement provided to PEOPLE, the U.S. Embassy in Paris said, “We can confirm the death of Anthony Bourdain in the Haut-Rhin department of France. We extend our sincere condolences to friends and family. We stand ready to provide appropriate consular service. Out of respect for the family at this difficult time we have no further comment.”

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text “help” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Easy there Slo Mo, Slandering ones death is a bit more then a view point, even someone as inept as you should know the difference :321GFY

Slandering death? You don't even know what that means.
you're the one who went into attack mode over me and others sharing. You insulted people here for not knowing a word and you castigated everyone who's views you disagreed with exclaiming we don't make near enough money.

Face it, you went off the deep end

You're hysterical and appear suicidal.

The only other reason you would do those things would be because you're a huge fucking dickhead.

I'm assuming you are not a huge fucking dickhead that would attack others for their views on suicide.

Get some help, the hotline # was posted earlier.

It's a pretty stoical thing to do so it's fine by me . . .

Mind can make you do terrible things

Rich white man cooking for other rich white men. Maybe he should have met more poor people and cook for them. Or maybe Hillary kill him over Weinstein remarks.

Please change your name to dingbell.

Yeah, fuck his kid's life.

Better off dead than spreading missery and hate every day like you do, that's selfish :2 cents:

He said:

"access to happiness a lot easier"

As in if you take 100.000 poor people and 100.000 rich people, you would find MUCH more happy people in the second category.

He did not say that ALL rich people are happy.
He said it is just easier to access happiness.

because it´s a shame someone like this could do this. He was a great guy, always see great things in places, bought the best out.


Mental illness and suicide is up, something needs to be done about it :(


RIP Anthony :( x

Apparently, he has always had his bouts with depression. RIP
