US celebrity chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain has been found dead in his hotel room, aged 61, of a suspected suicide, CNN reports.

Bourdain was in Strasbourg, France, working on a shoot for his series, Parts Unknown, on CNN.

"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the cable network said in a statement on Friday.

Bourdain was a best-selling food, fiction and nonfiction author.

CNN's statement continued: "His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller.

Yeah, really tragic that he took his own life. He was a fantastic showman and entertainer. Gutsy and gungho. I enjoyed all his shows. He loved pork, which got me liking pork again. And he was also a smoker, which made me like him more! RIP Anthony Bourdain, the one and only. :(

Seriously speaking, have you ever thought of calling it a day? I have.

It's like ..Ummmm... I have achieved the majority of my objectives and there's nothing to look forward to. Life's become a drag on the soul and body...

Then I will snap out of it and be OK again. But one day, if I don't snap out of it, I should be on my way out of this planet.
