Food Network star Anne Burrell died from drug overdose suicide: NYC Medical Examiner
NEW YORK — Food Network star Anne Burrell committed suicide by ingesting a mixture of drugs, the New York City Medical Examiner said Thursday. Burrell, 55, was found collapsed on her shower floor inside her Brooklyn apartment about 1 a.m. June 17. An autopsy has determined she died of the 'combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine,' a Medical Examiner autopsy has now found. Her death has been deemed a suicide, a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner said. The 911 dispatcher told Burrell's husband, Stuart Claxton, to perform CPR on the 'Worst Cooks in America' host while awaiting first responders, though her body was already cold. EMS personnel also attempted lifesaving measures when they got there but could not revive the chef. Burrell married Claxton in 2021 and was stepmother to his son, Javier. 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,' the Food Network said in a statement after her death. Burrell became a fan favorite at the Food Network for her signature spiky blonde hair and energetic personality on 'Worst Cooks,' doing her best to shape floundering chefs into respectable recipe followers. -------------
