Bourdain's death has come as a shock to his friends and family. His girlfriend, Italian actress Asia Argento shared her pain and bewildered grief on a tweet, describing herself as "beyond devastated."

Bourdain had always been very open about his past struggles with addiction to heroin and cocaine, but so far no reports of his being despondent or depressed have come to light.

Twice-divorced Bourdain met Argento in Italy while he was shooting an episode of Parts Unknown in 2016. He leaves an 11-year-old daughter, Ariana, and many grieving fans and admirers.

One of these is former president Barack Obama, who tweeted about Bourdain's ability to bring people together, and make them less afraid of the unknown.

Bourdain first rose to fame with his best selling memoir Kitchen Confidential. The celebrity chef was best known for his CNN series Parts Unknown in which Bourdain traveled around the world in search of exotic culinary experiences, with each episode visiting a different location.

The show premiered in 2013 and won many awards, including a Peabody and five Emmys. The series is currently in its eleventh season and was slated to continue indefinitely.
