Anne Burrell's Death Riddled With New Details Involving Pills
's sudden death gets more shocking!
More details about the celebrity chef's death show that she was surrounded by some harmful substances at the time of her passing.
Anne Burrell's lifeless body was discovered at her home on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, after her husband made an emergency call to local authorities about finding her unconscious in her home.
The TV star was found lying unconscious next to dozens of pills when her husband walked into her New York home. Insiders revealed that her partner, Claxton Stuart, discovered her body on the shower floor.
Despite the presence of these illegal substances at the death scene, sources claimed it is still too early to conclude whether they led to her death.
When Stuart called 911 for help about his unconscious wife, the responders reportedly instructed him to perform quick CPR. When they finally arrived, the authorities discovered her body had already gone cold, hence declaring her dead.
As reported by Page Six, Stuart revealed that the last time he saw his wife alive was around 1 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The fire department spokesperson shared that he had called with claims of Burrell suffering cardiac arrest.
Burrell's death shook the food entertainment industry to its core, as confirmed by TMZ from the account of NYC restaurant owner Melba Wilson.
Wilson shared that her passing left her feeling empty and, by extension, the culinary sphere. The Food Network star revealed that she had a conversation with Burrell last week, and everything seemed well on the phone.
They reportedly chatted about karaoke, backgammon, and life in general. Wilson was healthy and vibrant, with nothing seeming out of place as they talked, even down to her health.
Wilson described her late friend as a warm personality who lit up any room she entered. Her death, according to the cooking pro, was by no small measure a surprise.
She raved about her friend being a trailblazer and an iconic figure who broke the glass ceiling in the food and beverage industry, which men previously dominated.
The television host left her loved ones with sweet memories before her death, which is what most of them are holding on to. She reportedly spent quality time with her friend Elizabeth Falkner at her dinner party last week.
Falkner recalled inviting her over for the feast at Soho House. In her words, 'It'll be great to see you.' And she brought her husband, and we just had such a good time. It was just so sweet."
After the dinner, Burrell reportedly sent a lovely appreciation message to her friend. The host emphasized that she had a lovely time indulging in the provided delicacies.
'We were like, 'Let's just make a point of talking and texting more often. I'm very grateful to have had that special night. I feel like [our friendship] just got cut really short fast,' Falkner shared.
The tributes have not stopped pouring in, a testament to Burrell's eventful time on Earth. American celebrity chef Bobby Flay joins the queue to celebrate the life and times of his late colleague.
He reminisced about the time spent appearing on "Worst Cooks in America" alongside the late cook. "'Worst Cooks in America' was the funniest show on TV. All of your co-hosts (me included) were just alongside for the Anne Burrell ride," Flay wrote on his Instagram Story.
He attached a picture of Burrell cuddling two adorable Maine Coon cats alongside his caption. The star concluded his tribute, admitting that the cats were the "greatest gifts" he got from Burrel, who introduced him to adopting them as pets. Flay reiterated that he would cherish the gifts forever.
During an interview in April, Burrell communicated her desire to feature on Meghan's Netflix show "With Love, Meghan." The Blast reported that the host welcomed the idea with open arms when asked about it.
"Sure, of course. I'd go to the opening of an envelope. Why not cook with Meghan?" the bubbly personality noted. Burrell accompanied her wish with an honest confession. She noted that she had not given the viral As Ever jam a taste.
The American TV quickly came up with an excuse for her action, sharing that while she does not enjoy jam, she occasionally makes it for her husband. Burrell and Stuart tied the knot in 2021, a marriage she described as her happy place, alongside her stepson, Javier.
May Anne Burrell's loved ones find the strength to bear this painful loss!
