The TV chef Anthony Bourdain has died at the age of 61.

The cable news network CNN, which hosted Bourdain’s globetrotting culinary travel guide Parts Unknown, confirmed Bourdain’s death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide.

“It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain,” the network said in a statement on Friday morning.

“His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.”

Bourdain was understood to have been in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series. His friend Eric Ripert, the French chef, found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room.

British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson tweeted: “Heartbroken to hear about Tony Bourdain’s death. Unbearable for his family and girlfriend. Am going off twitter for a while.”

Bourdain was one of cooking’s leading storytellers and authored several books, including Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly and Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook.

In his series, he could be found drinking beer with Barack Obama in Hanoi or hanging out with Iggy Pop in Miami.

“I’m proud of the fact that I’ve had as dining companions over the years everybody from Hezbollah supporters, communist functionaries, anti-Putin activists, cowboys, stoners, Christian militia leaders, feminists, Palestinians and Israeli settlers, to Ted Nugent,” he once explained.

“You like food and are reasonably nice at the table? You show me hospitality when I travel? I will sit down with you and break bread.”

Bourdain’s CNN colleague and friend, Christiane Amanpour, said: “My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain. May he rest in peace now. He was a friend, a collaborator, and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice and deeply, deeply human. My heart goes out to his daughter and family, and his longtime partners and friends at ZPZ [Zero Point Zero productions].” 

Bourdain cultivated an image as a “culinary bad boy”, and delighted in eating from the extreme end of food spectrum, whether sheep’s testicles in Morocco or raw seal eyeball in the Arctic. Besides a chicken McNugget, he said the most disgusting thing he’d ever consumed was unwashed warthog anus.

Bourdain was heralded for his informal role as an ambassador to American television audiences for the rest of of the world.

Civil rights activist Imraan Siddiqi, a director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations Arizona branch, hailed Bourdain’s representation of the Middle East.

“In this age of Islamophobia and otherization of Muslims through media, Anthony Bourdain used his platform to humanize Muslims through culture and food - something I, and many others always appreciated,” Siddiqi wrote on Twitter. “He opened the world’s eyes to places like Gaza, Lebanon, Sub-Saharan Africa - and so many others that only appear in our newsfeeds as caricatures and soundbytes. Bourdain added the much-needed depth that the world was lacking.”

Julián Ventura, the ambassador of Mexico to the United Kingdom, praised Bourdain on Twitter as “one of the greatest, most knowledgeable Ambassadors of Mexican food and an uncompromising defender of the contributions of Mexican migrants to the US”.

In the past year, Bourdain was also a passionate advocate for the #MeToo movement, which had been energized in part by his girlfriend Asia Argento, one of the first actors to publicly accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of rape.

Bourdain championed women coming forward with accusations against high-profile men, attacked those they accused and reflected on his own role in perpetuating this sort of behavior. “I mean, I became a leading figure in a very old, very oppressive system, so I could hardly blame anyone for looking at me as somebody who’s not going to be particularly sympathetic,” he told Slate last year.

Bourdain was candid about his history of drug use. He said he had also smoked cigarettes and drunk alcohol to excess.

“We were high all the time, sneaking off to the walk-in refrigerator at every opportunity to ‘conceptualize’. Hardly a decision was made without drugs,” he wrote in Kitchen Confidential.

In 1999 he wrote a New Yorker article, Don’t Eat Before Reading This, that became Kitchen Confidential. Those stories were largely based on his years working at Les Halles, a French bistro on Manhattan’s Park Avenue South. He delighted in the shocking or unhygienic aspects of the chef’s trade.

In 2013, while accepting a Peabody award, Bourdain described how he approached his work.

“We ask very simple questions: What makes you happy? What do you eat? What do you like to cook? And everywhere in the world we go and ask these very simple questions,” he said, “we tend to get some really astonishing answers.”

Astronaut Scott Kelly wrote on Twitter: “I watched his show when I was in space. It made me feel more connected to the planet, its people and cultures and made my time there more palatable. He inspired me to see the world up close.”
