THAT WE'LL PROBABLY SEE REPEAT
THEMSELVES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THANKS, MIKE.
WE LEARNED THAT FAMED CHEF
AND TV PERSONALITY ANTHONY
BOURDAIN HAS DIED.
BOURDAIN WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS
HOTEL ROOM IN FRANCE WHILE
WORKING ON HIS CNN SERIES ON
CULINARY TRADITIONS AROUND THE
WORLD.
CNN DID CONFIRM THE DEATH.
SAID IN A STATEMENT HE WAS
FOUND UNRESPONSIVE BY HIS
FRIEND ERIC RIPERT.
THEY'RE CALLING HIS DEATH A
SUICIDE.
ANTHONY BOURDAIN WAS 61 YEARS
OLD.
THE CNN STATEMENT WENT ON TO
SAY HIS LOVE OF GREAT
ADVENTURE, NEW FRIENDS, FINE
FOOD AND DRINK AND THE
REMARKABLE STORIES OF THE WORLD
MADE HIM A UNIQUE STORY TELLER.
HIS TALENTS NEVER CEASED TO
AMAZE US AND WE WILL MISS HIM
VERY MUCH.
BOURDAIN'S DEATH COMES AS THE
CDC REPORTS ON AN ALARMING RISE
IN THE NUMBER OF SUICIDES IN
THE U.S.
NEARLY 45,000 AMERICANS WHO
ARE 10 YEARS OLD OR OLDER TOOK
THEIR OWN LIVES IN 2016.
THAT MAKES IT THE TENTH LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE SUICIDE RATE INCREASED
AMONG ALL AGE GROUPS YOUNGER
THAN 75 YEARS OLD.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS
IN DISTRESS, HELP IS AVAILABLE.
