Never heard of the guy but then I’ve only watched CNN for the past 30 years when forced to at an airport bar. So, I guess I missed him.

That said, I will hold fire on him committing suicide. Maybe he had some very painful disease. WE just don’t know.

“He seemed to have a dream job. The dream life. Nothing is what it seems”

This. See also, Kate Spade, who had just sold her business for $2 Billion. Money, fame, acclaim, power, romance, sex, drugs, hobbies— nothing ultimately satisfies. Only one thing can fill the hole in our souls.

Your comment is a truly brilliant observation.

(and a welcome contrast to many of the comments)

Bourdain was a curmudgeon but I always loved his show. And especially when his Russian friend Zamir showed up.

Bourdain’s sneering cynicism showed in every poisonous word that dripped from his mouth. He never found Jesus.

He was a traitor that hated Trump and openly expressed desires to poison him. What is wrong with you? He’s a coward.

Or, I should say, he was one.

Suicide doesn’t end the pain, it passes it on to your loved ones.

It’s strange in the same week CDC announces suicide rates are increasing, then you have Kate Spade and Bourdain committing suicide.

“How long before CNN convenes a panel of “experts” to blame President Trump for his self-inflicted demise?”

Before this day is over.

Well, it was either PDJT’s fault...or and global warming caused by Trump's Deplorables.

Doesn’t change the fact that he was talented. I agree that suicide is horrible for the surviving loved ones.

He was a hateful Liberal. I hope no one you know is inspired to follow such a “talented” person in this way.

It seems like only celebrity Liberals choose this.

That’s exactly what I thought — auto-erotic asphyxia, like actor David Carradine and INXS band leader Michael Hutchence.

No evidence supporting that suggestion, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what happened.
