NEW YORK (CNN) -- Anthony Bourdain, a gifted storyteller and writer who took CNN viewers around the world, has died. He was 61.

CNN confirmed Bourdain's death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide.

"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the network said in a statement Friday morning. "His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time."

Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series. His close friend Eric Ripert, the French chef, found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning.

i still have a hard time grasping with ppl who commit suicide...i know mental illness is usually a factor but i still dont get such a permanent solution to temporary problems

He and Andrew Zimmern are/were two of the realest to do what they do. Very open and candid regarding their past and spoke on social justice issues. Did NOT see this shit coming. Dude had the DREAM job of many people. Travel, eat, make millions, and shoot the shit with the locals.

R.I.P.

Folks with fame, power, influence and money are offing themselves left and right, and everyday folks are dealing with the same struggles and finding themselves in the same unfortunate outcomes.

Please take care of the physical AND mental health of yourselves and the ones you love.

Noooooo Way.

I was a fan of his work. Anthony seemed like one of the good ones.

Rarely am i caught off guard by these things but dam.. This is kinda surprising.

He struggled with addiction for a long time. But had seemed to have gotten things in order and was doing outstanding work with CNN and his series..
