Bourdain spoke about his depression candidly on his show.

 Anthony Bourdain spoke about dealing with depression on a 2016 episode of his show Parts Unknown. Talking with a therapist, Bourdain states, "I will find myself in an airport, for instance, and I'll order an airport hamburger. It's an insignificant thing, it's a small thing, it's a hamburger, but it's not a good one. Suddenly I look at the hamburger and I find myself in a spiral of depression that can last for days."

In the clip, which was unearthed by TMZ, Bourdain also states, "I feel kind of like a freak and I feel very isolated. I communicate for a living but I'm terrible at communicating with people I care about." The celebrity chef and world traveler was found unresponsive in a hotel room today (June 8). It was later confirmed that he hanged himself. “It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain,” CNN wrote in a statement.

Several celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to Bourdain after news broke of his suicide. Most notably, another celebrity chef expressed his shock and urged anyone suffering from depression to seek help.

Chrissy Teigen, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Lin-Manuel Miranda also paid their respects online.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
