Val Kilmer has faced a backlash after cing Anthony Bourdain's death "so selfish". The US TV chef and social activist was found dead in a hotel room in France at the age of 61 on Friday
  An angry Kilmer took to Facebook shortly after the news of his apparent suicide surfaced. "How many moments away were you from feeling the love that was universal," he began the lengthy post
 "From every corner of the world you were loved. So selfish. You’ve given us cause to be so angry.  "A spiritual guide once told me suicide is the most selfish act a human can execute and I was confused but she explained there’s just no mental place further away from humanity and purpose than the hypnotised numbness that creates the false picture of despair, that forces the victim, unaware, to believe, life’s legacy is over
"   The actor went on to question how the chef's reported suicide happened.  "So what? I hear you took your life in Paris
 What hotel?" he asked. "Did you relapse? Did you just get home from the best meal of your life? Did you cheat on your girl?"  "Those of us that knew you are shocked and angry and angry and angry selfishly angry, for what you just did to us," he continued
 "Millions I should think. At least a million people like me who imagine they know you. Some imagine they know you even well
"  Referencing his two-year battle with throat cancer, he said: "Would you have taken your life two years ago when like me you were unable to take in food and move it with your tongue over your taste buds because your tongue was too swollen? Is too swollen? I think and dream and plan on eating and tasting and enjoying every meal I’ve ever enjoyed and every meal I’ve learned to enjoy in my imagination, Altho I’ve never met a meal I didn’t like in the last 40 years except anything with too much cilantro (sic)
" The 5-year-old Batman Forever actor finished: "You left too soon. And I'm going to prove it." The post received mixed reviews, with one blasting the actor for being "clueless and insensitive"

" Another replied: "Suicide has nothing to do with selfishness. Stop adding to the stigma, please. You never know what is happening in someone else’s mind
"   A third said it's impossible to know what Bourdain was going through, writing: "Anyone who puts suicide and selfish in the same sentence has no idea what this man was going through, and further adds to the guilt and shame associated with this illness instead of lifting others up out of it
 Shame on you." Bourdain's death comes three days after American designer Kate Spade, who built a fashion empire on her signature handbags, was found dead of suicide in her New York apartment on Tuesday
