Very sad news today as it has emerged that CNN's Anthony Bourdain has died by suicide.
CNN said in a statement today (Friday): "It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller.
