New York (CNN) Anthony Bourdain, a gifted storyteller and writer who took CNN viewers around the world, has died. He was 61.

CNN 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 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 in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series. His close friend Eric Ripert, the French chef, found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning.

Who's this exceptional fellow?
 
A guy who is supposedly an expert in social media.

EDIT:
Also on that Asia Argento theory, if he had a history of depression and addiction, pouring all his emotional energy in to support her would be exhausting, especially if he's as selfless as people say he is.

Then you find out she's cheating on you after you poured all that energy in, you feel like a piece of shit. That maybe she didn't need you after all. And maybe no one needs you, not her or even You own daughter. The world would be better off without you.

And that's how you get to suicide.

Quoting a freshly dead man's old, insulting tweet in order to put him in his place for insulting you. What a cool guy who is in no way a steaming, gaping asshole.

But he claims to be an an expert in the art of social media, he obviously can do no wrong!

Upon hearing of his death by suicide, I thought, "Wait, what?" Two celebrity suicides in the space of less than a week...

I haven't watched too much of his shows nor cared much about him, but this is still tragic.

F.
 
According to Page Six Argento posted and deleted on IG 3hr before Bourdain's death was announced.

A photo of her in a ripped t-shirt of Sid Vicious that read "FUCK EVERYONE" (Bourdain has been called the Sid Vicious of the culinary world)...and with the caption "You know who you are".


Whatever this means I don't get all the poor Asia shit....when he has a daughter, loved ones and friends he has had for decades.

I hope the kid has great support system.
