Anthony Bourdain

1  2018-06-08 by DestinationUptown

Damn did this seem incredibly surprising to anyone else? Maybe you guys can help me connect the dots because he just does not seem like the type to kill himself.

I was reading through the comments on /r/news and apparently the girl he was dating was one of the Weinstein accusers. Do you think he genuinely killed himself or is there something weird going on here?

I don’t know, but I’m certainly not shedding any tears for vocal advocates of white genocide, which he was.

Good riddance.

Somthing weird. Dude was beloved. Travels the world and shyt.

Perhaps he was involved in some dark things. Maybe he knew too much. Maybe he was a loose end?

Not saying this is not the case, but I just had a very good friend's father commit suicide. He lived a lavish lifestyle, traveled all the time, and even has a helicopter pad at his beach house.

What I'm getting at, is just because money doesn't make everyone whole, sometimes there are other issues, in my friend's case, i was severe depression. Those who knew him well understood the issues he had, those on the outside looking in just saw a very wealthy attorney with a helicopter.

Perhaps he was severely depressed and killed himself. The number 10 cause of death in the US is suicide. Depression has many masks, the most common one being a fake happy smile.

Can you give me some money and pay for my travel expenses so we can test this theory? K thanks.

Tru talk

He lectured Americans on how good people in 3rd world nations have it because "whatever food" being sold from stall as dirty porta-potty is central to decoding the human experience. He was self absorbed douche.

Depression doesn't care about any of that.

Tru

He is a pretty open ex-heroin/cocaine addict. Most people who kick opioids still go their whole life fighting the addiction.

Could have either relapsed and accidentally OD'd or had enough resisting it and ended things before relapsing. Just speculation.

Be accidentally OD'd while hanging himself from a doorknob?

Please explain how that would happen.

His girlfriend is an accuser of Weinstein

Oh interesting

Interesting if she fails to give testimony or follow through on the allegations.

If she continues on, most likely it was just a depressed man committing suicide.

And his gf (Asia Argento) is super close friends with Rose McGowan, both very very vocal accusers against Weinstein. This doesn’t sit right. I hope Ronan Farrow reports on this, Weinstein has a pretty fucking scary network of people.

Weinstein has a pretty fucking scary network of people.

There other theories like that out there, but who knows if there is any link or truth to it.

Ah yes. I always thought her situation was odd. Idk either, but I’m pretty certain the surface has only been scraped with the Harvey Weinstein awfulness (and therefore Hollywood’s horridness). I expect/hope a lot is uncovered in the next couple years.

Rose Mcgowan was also in a cult called "The Family" along with Joaquin Phoenix, who was publicly shamed and punished on air by david letterman. Similar letterman public examples include hunter s thompson and crispin glover

Rose's parents were in the cult in Italy. Her father removed them from the cult once he started to realize how fucked up they were. She was still pretty young when they left.

Hmm... just like Julian Assange was in a cult called "The Family", but he "was young" and his heroic mom "got him out early"

Isn't she the one that actually publicly dated Harvey after the supposed harassment happened? I know for fact she was his official girlfriend at one point and scored a few movie roles after that. She always seemed like the least credible, playing the game victim in the whole Weinstein thing.

Why not just kill her? Is that the implication that he had Bourdian killed because of his girlfriends actions?

No joke. I guess if they used some sort of frequency attack and he happened to be on the same antidepressants as her...?? That is far reaching

This one isn't right. It'll be illuminating to see how the media handles this.

Wow not sure how I had to come down so far for this but I think it's clear AB was suicided.

I have no idea how you could reach this conclusion, legitimately. The toothbrush thing is a song lyric.

What is the song? I can’t find it when I search “last night I hear toothbrushes scraping on the floor.”

some rap song

Late night I hear toothbrushes scraping on the floor. Niggas getting they shanks, just in case the war, pops off. Cause you can't tell what's next

some rap song

"Murder Was The Case" - Snoop Dogg.

So you came to this conclusion that it's CLEAR that Bourdain was suicided, without a single piece of evidence? Just pure speculation? No wonder this sub gets ridiculed.

And you believe he committed suicide without any evidence?

All I know is he was found dead in his hotel room. I'll wait for the evidence and then make my conclusion on what happened.

Then why visit this sub?

Because I'm interested in conspiracies...

:)

There's a difference between a conspiracy theory and baseless speculation.

Dont tell /r/Conspiracy

He wasn't just found dead he was found hanging.

You think Weinstein is offing witnesses?

That sure does make it seem like tgey are offimg people who dont make it look suspicous.

He had mentioned in a few episodes that he suffered manic depression. Asia argento his girlfriend was raised in films by her father Dario argento.

Being manic dosent mean you suffer from suicidal thoughts or tendancies.

Manic DEPRESSION. There is a type 1 and a type 2. Both have extreme high's and low's.

Yes it does. And again, that dosent mean the person suffers from suicidal throughts or tendancies. It means they suffer from extreme highs and extreme lows.

Bi polar depression has an extremely high rate of suicidal thoughts and tendencies.

But being bi polar dosent mean you are suicidal.

Do you really not understand this?

Also, being suicidal dosent mean you are bipolar.

There are bipolar people that would never think about suicide.

There are suicidal people who arnt bi polar.

I have tried to explain this to you enough. If you dont get it, then you dont get it.

Dude. I'm a type 2 so I should know what I'm talking about because of ya know, 19 years of experience. All I said was that he said he suffered from manic depression. MAJORITY of bi polar people in a cycle of depression have suicidal thoughts. It is possible to hit a low without feeling suicidal. I'm not arguing with you there. Him being manic depressive could explain why he felt low enough to end his own life. Fucking relax.

Again. You are saying he was manic like that means he was suicidal. As the two are not entangled or exclusive.

You are not the only person who suffers from bi polar disorder. You are the only person in the conversation suggesting you have some kind of special knowledge because of it.

You go ahead and preted you have some kind of higher knowledge. Maybe you should catch up on your meds.

And finally, being manic does not mean you suffer from suicidal thoughts or tendancies. That is seperate, although you are correct, a large number of people with bi polar disorder do suffer from suicidal thoughts and tendancies. But then again, there is a insanly huge number of people who do not, at all, in any way siffer from suicidal tendancies and have bi polar. Enough people to be in the hundreds of thousands.

So just sitting around with your dick in your hands suggesting all bi polar people are suicidal is wrong. And i wish you would shut your fucking mouth. Being bi polar does not inherently make you suicidal. So stop fucking saying it.

Do not say, well he was bi polar. Loke whelp, that explains it. Because NOT ALL BIPOLAR PEOPLE ARE SUICIDAL.

Its like saying you got something stolen and saying whelp he was black. Sure, lots of black people steal, but not all black people are theives.

So dont fucking say it. Take the nasty words out of your fucking mouth and put them somewhere else.

Good lord man.

Good lord? Just shut the fuck up. And stop giving people with bi polar a bad name.

Removed. Rule 4

Removed. Rule 10

Interesting, right after he talked about the Armenian Genocide on CNN. #notsuicide #ZionistJewsStrikeAgain

He said a few months back he's poison Trump's food if he got half a chance, he was also heavily involved in MeToo...

I never knew he was a comic book author.

Punched in the gut with this news. Loved his work. In terms of travel shows, he was the best. Bourdain was a former heroin addict among other drugs. Even though people can kick it, the tendency remains. Not saying he got hooked again, but it's possible he had an injury in his martial arts and the doctors got him hooked again on opioids. For a former addict, or even an alcoholic, the descent is swift when picking up again. Depression comes quickly. Not saying that's what happened, but it's possible. We never know the private persona of public people, or even people in our lives. I'm grateful for the man's existence and for the body of work he gave us.

Don't blaspheme Andrew Zimmerman like that, it's wrong and cruel

"Blaspheme" implies Zimmerman is a high priest of travel shows. His show is okay, but it doesn't reach the depths that Bourdain reached with his. Bourdain's show was more than a show about food and travel.

He's a Pederast.. get ready for many many more to PURGE themselves.

FUCK OFF... I'm NOT a Bot stop calling people Shills

You posted nearly the exact same comment multiple times

And .? That makes me a bot ? Fuck off with that bullshit

Removed. Rule 10

I'm not surprised at all considering his well-documented history of substance abuse. One way or the other I think drugs were involved; my guess being heroin. I think it is most likely that he got some bad drugs or accidentally OD'd.

Of course it is possible that he intentionally OD'd but unless there was a note it would be hard to determine if the intent was to purposefully OD as the means of suicide.

He hung himself. And it's within the realm of possibility that heroin or opioids brought him to depression. But we don't know. He was in the middle of filming an episode of his show. So surprising.

That's a lot of very interesting speculation about how he OD'd, given that he hung himself. Still, do go on, don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

OD'd by hanging?

Didn't know he hung himself at the time I made my post. The only reporting I had seen didn't mention cause of death other than suicide.

I heard at 7 am pst and it was already beigg called a hanging first five articles I read said so.

But the reason you are downvotrs is because hes been clean for decades from heroin, and while it is a life long battle, it is highly unlikely it would have been an OD anyway.

I work in a hospital where people who have fallen off the sobriety wagon pass through all the time. Sometimes they've been sober for decades, but people are funny and like you said addiction is a lifelong battle. If one becomes depressed enough they are capable of making all sorts of bad decisions. It's just a little surprising to me that so many seem to believe Anthony Bourdain would somehow be immune to relapse, even if it were a momentary one. I mean if he was in the state of mind to kill himself, why is it so impossible to consider that he wouldn't have cashed in his chip as well?

WTF? the guy had publicly expressed the demons he has dealt with for years,well sad and sudden this is not overly surprising . This thread is one hell of a reach if you ask me.

Really strange stuff happening..

this is a cover-up celebrity murder, tptb murder a celebrity to distract the sheep (and even the conspiracy folks) whenver something else needs to be covered

Trump at the G-7?

i think #TucsonGate, unless that too is a bigger cover for something even bigger

Will you fucking idiots stop putting -gate after any event that is a conspiracy? Jesus christ you sound dumb.

please stop your #UnneededCommentGate

He has traveled to pretty much every country.

Make a list and see how many he visited more than once...

He was old and a heavy smoker most of his life. I'm inclined to wonder if he had a diagnosis he didn't want to live out.

As someone pointed out on this vein, he loved France, may have been his choice of places to go out with dignity and not let some son-a-bitch cancer get the best of him.

Great comment. I didnt think of this at all. Now that you mention it, he has looked alot thinner and sickly in the last year or so thsn he did before. Also he told a reporter in may of this year that he eould rather die in the saddle than retire. https://people.com/food/anthony-bourdain-life-on-the-road-parts-unknown/

This is in line with my first thoughts. I didn't think about a diagnosis, but more of him choosing his own time. He loved France maybe he just felt like it was better to go out now than when he couldn't do what he loved anymore.

A potential diagnosis would fit right in with this. I know if I am diagnosed with terminal cancer I'd end it on my own terms. Makes sense.

The thing is that many people who are manic depressive have suicidal thoughts, but a lot of the time they aren't suicidal, just ready to die. Which doesn't sound like much of a difference, but it is.

Trust me, I totally understand the different. Sounds like you do too.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. :)

Clinton strikes again /s

Asia was seen canoodling with another man this week. Perhaps it had something to do with it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5807979/Asia-Argento-embraces-Hugo-Clement-shared-attack-Harvey-Weinstein-Cannes.html

Was the message TO Tony or FOR him?

TMZ is now saying the photog that snapped these pics has stopped selling them to media outlets.

Randy Quaid is crazy on the money about his warnings...these highly mysterious deaths are apparently comeuppance meted out from up the food chain. "You, random fame seeker, shall have your fame....and forever will be macabre contestants in our game of death". The more random choice of victim, the more terrifying the prospect of breaking from their secretly assigned role in entertainment. Observe all the ridiculous out of sync and inappropriate agendae on TV, movies, and music...this garbage is not organically produced. Now the connection to gangstalking can be made also. The awful creeps need desperate spies to run ops on various 'out of line' celebs....these nameless orcs are trained starting in their own hometown, harassing innocents and pushing all limits of decency. The worst (least humanity) pro-stalkers are promoted to high-profile cases with glee I'm sure

I do not believe this man would ever kill himself, at all.

This is first I've heard of it and I don't believe it. Successful people who have positive interests do not just kill themselves.

Are they saying he was troubled? About anything ? Or are we just supposed to accept it without any compelling story?

Successful people who have positive interests do not just kill themselves.

What a ridiculous, ignorant statement.

there's always a story, something big that happened, something that's been driving them nuts

self murder is not a random sudden act, it's not easy

No, there's really not always some big thing that happened - that's the point, people commit suicide even when their life looks perfect to others (even when people dig into it). Maybe there's something obvious that people will point to as a reason for what Bourdain did, but maybe there won't be.

He's openly dealt with depression and addiction - what beyond that do you need to explain suicide?

Anthony Bourdain and GF Asia Argento Seemed Close Until This Weekhttp://www.tmz.com/2018/06/08/anthony-bourdain-asia-argento-relationship-split-close

So, tmz says that there were images of Asia and a photographer holding hands and being extremely close. Those pics were immediately removed upon hearing of his death. They state that they could’ve broke up and tied with his manic depression could’ve triggered it?!

What does a suicidal person seem like? That’s a very dumb thing to say. Depression is something a lot of people hide really well.

He certainly never came off as a happy guy, to me. I am surprised he killed himself, but he seemed a very thoughtful and deep feeling person. Those are often the types that take their lives.

"...he just does not seem like the type to kill himself." I don't think that type even exist. Come on!

He's been very open about his depression and the fact that he's contemplated suicide. Add in possible break up with his girlfriend, there are rumors and pictures from Rome.

This isn't that surprising.

He was set up . One of his last episodes he was in Armenia, where Q says the deep state lives. For people claiming we have no evidence, we have don't have any evidence that he was suicidal either.

Why no details about the suicide, yet? Even with Kate Spade, we learned within a few hours that she hung herself. Did Bourdain commit suicide in the text book sense? Or was it a alcohol/drug binge? Or was there evidence of foul play? Just wondering if we have the full story.

It was on most of the original coverage that it was a hanging.

I think that's an incredibly insensitive thing to say. You don't know him. You have no idea what he was dealing with. This kinda stuff makes me sick.

It wasn’t surprising to me at all. You could tell he was disturbed underneath his outward facade.

There are pictures that came out in the last few days of his girlfriend cheating on him . She also posted something very cryptic like a hour before his death and then deleted it . Also look up her history with the whole weinstein thing . Its very interesting. Do some research cause I came across all this in like 20 minutes .

It makes more sense he died over a broken heart than some Weinstein hit...come on.
