Just four months ago, the late celebrity chef spoke to People magazine, sharing what could now be read as devastating red flags.

“I’m going to pretty much die in the saddle,” he told the magazine while filming his show Parts Unknown.

He also shared that his attempts at retirement had been fruitless, explaining “I gave up on that. I’ve tried. I just think I’m just too nervous, neurotic, driven,” he said.

“I would have had a different answer a few years ago. I might have deluded myself into thinking that I’d be happy in a hammock or gardening. But no, I’m quite sure I can’t.”

The actor also opened up about his meaningful relationship with his 11-year-old daughter, stating that the relationship gave him “some responsibility” and a reminder to “at least try to live.”

“There have been times, honestly, in my life that I figured, ‘I’ve had a good run — why not just do this stupid thing, this selfish thing … jump off a cliff into water of indeterminate depth,’” he said, recalling something he’d once done for his show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.

The horrible news follows the death of Kate Spade yesterday, which has likewise devastated so many.
