Police found a “suicidal note” written by Food Network star Anne Burrell in her home after her death at age 55. The chef was found dead in her Brooklyn home on June 17, 2025, after her husband, Stuart Claxton, found the troubled star surrounded by more than 100 pills. Investigators determined the cause of death to be suicide in July. The New York City medical examiner’s office found that Burrell died from an “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.” The police now report that Burrell left a “suicidal note” in her home prior to her untimely death. They also found suicidal journal entries in her shared home with Claxton. They did not provide any details about what Burrell had written. During initial investigations, Claxton told police that she had never voiced any suicidal thoughts, adding that there weren’t “any signs that she would do something like this.” Burrell’s family issued a statement after her death, saying, “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”
