I was just watching his shows on Netflix last week!

RIP

Wow first genuine shock I've had in a long time. Well media people wise. I watched a lot of his No Reservation series and was quite inspired, I used to dream of doing the same tjing. I would never have predicted this. Genuine RIP.

Great chef and came across as a genuinely kind person, his shows are fantastic.

Gutted it’s his tv shows that made me want travel. RIP

Been a while since a surprise shock death like this one

RIP

oh wow, I liked all his shows. He was a keen traveller and he inspired many to travel, and he would try any food, he would always mention his daughter in his shows. I'm very shocked he took his own life. Wow. Never expected this at all.

RIP

RIP.

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 and very high among the over 45's. It kills more than heart disease, cancer, etc. But there are almost no resources put into tackling it. So sad.

RIP.
what a shame loved his shows and books.

RIP never really saw much of his work but I certainly recognise the name.

I believe there is a very large movement going on at the moment to highlight such things in men in fairness.

Big fan of his shows. Such a shame

RIP

Must admit this is one of the first 'who' moments i had. Wife informs me he was massive in the US.
I don't think i have ever seen one of his shows, or seen him featured, but would no doubt recognise him if i see some library footage.
Was it a drugs overdose?

Deluxe1 · 8 Jun 2018 at 14:24

He had a history of drug abuse so may of been.

jsmoke · 8 Jun 2018 at 14:33

Apparently hanging. Grim stuff.

This one literally made me gasp, a hell of a shock.

Been a fan of his since 2003 and could never get enough of his shows, such a great storyteller.

I loved reading Kitchen Confidential - it's a sad loss.

D.P. · 8 Jun 2018 at 15:03

Damn, love his shows and books. Great talent

randomshenans · 8 Jun 2018 at 15:12

Oh man, this is such a tragic thing. I'm properly gutted. What a sad thing. People's daemons are the worst

Had a young daughter too

RIP
