Wow so sad, I luved his show, so easy to listen to his stories he was like the common man and seemed like a cool dude not pretentious and just loved showing us other Countries food, culture and traditions.

You could learn a lot just by watching his show.....
He will be missed.

Very sad news. I've seen almost every episode from No reservations to Parts unknown and I'm a big fan. Hard to believe the cause of death.

Really sad news.

My wife and I loved to watch his show and we would talk about all the cool places we would like to travel and see because of him. Like someone already mentioned, he just seemed like a common man. He and I shared the same first name and a passion for good food, good times, and traditions. Feel bad for his daughter. He will be missed.

RIP Anthony Bourdain

I believe I read Bourdain was credited with providing the money to payoff the kid.

Allegedly this happened in Cali, where the age of consent is 18. Pretty sure you can't have "entirely consensual" sex with a minor.

That's true. But there is no equivalence to bedding a 17 year old (she told a friend in a text that she didn't know he was 17) and what Weinstein did. She appears to really have had feelings about the kid. There are pics on TMZ of smiling selfies he took after sex. It has no resemblance to a rape in progress.

There are a million unreported stories regarding powerful elite and pedophilia. I won't even touch some of the wilder allegations I have read about famous people online. If you think powerful people won't kill to protect power and money, you have things reversed. They are the most likely to. I think Bourdain's death is shady as hell.

Anthony and Asia were not married, and had recently broken up before Anthony did his thing in France. She was with another man in a different country as well.

Just trying to keep some facts straight in here.

Agreed. Weinstein is a monster. I was not trying to compare the two situations, just wanted to make a point that the fact that one party was under the legal age makes it impossible to have a consent, no matter the feelings or intent of either side.

As far as your second point, I don't think anything in my comment hinted at me thinking that "powerful people won't kill to protect power and money". I may not be Alex Jones, but I'm not naive.

I was looking forward to watching the episode he did in Indonesia as I have family there and have traveled there often. He does get a little deep in it talking about life and death and the meaning of life ect in which to me was in a little bit of an eccentric way. I have to admit, having the knowledge that he had passed in what ever way he passed, did make it seem a little creepy. I haven't avoided them but I haven't watched any of the episodes after that one.

The later episodes have no narration he was deceased before they could complete production. Makes those episodes super creepy. Bourdain was a hot or cold person no middle ground. Either really high or really low.

Not to be a dick. But didnt he off himself because his chick was getting railed by some child actor who starred in such films as Daddy Day Care and Evan Almighty? Bourdain even tried to pay the kid to keep his mouth shut?

You're making so many leaps, it's like you're playing several games of hopscotch all at once.

I don't think I've seen anyone deny that anyone has the potential to commit murder. That doesn't matter who it is, whether they have fame and fortune, whether they are politically powerful or not. That's simply human nature at its worst and it occurs across socioeconomic lines.

Unfortunately you seem to selectively choose to view something that is "possible" as "probable" if it would advance your predetermined conclusion of conspiratorial conduct, then you layer on more and more of these "possible/probable" assumptions atop a rickety base of logic. You treat this rickety base as a solid foundation, of course, because without that your imaginary scenario comes tumbling down.

You don't have to be crazy to question whether something occurred to Bourdain that was nefarious. But when you announce your belief that he was murdered with zero evidence of it and despite all the evidence to the contrary, it might be time to make that psych appointment and face any mental health issues head on.......

I haven't convinced myself he was murdered- it's a theory, and the most likely explanation is he killed himself- but it's not the only explanation. I'll leave it at that.
I'll keep that in mind about visiting a mental health practitioner. I'll ask him about the sanity of continuing to ride motorcycles at my age with a few metal parts and a prosthetic joint. That will probably concern him more than my conspiracy theories. Grinning
