U.S.
celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, host of CNN's food-and-travel-focused
"Parts Unknown" television series, hanged himself in a French hotel
room, CNN said on Friday, in the second high-profile suicide of a U.S.
celebrity this week. He was 61.
Bourdain
was found dead in a hotel room in Strasbourg, France, where he had been
working on an upcoming episode of his program, a CNN representative
said in a statement.
His
death comes three days after American designer Kate Spade, who built a
fashion empire on her signature handbags, was found dead in her New York
apartment of suicide on Tuesday.

Suicide
rates rose in nearly every U.S. state from 1999 to 2016, according to
data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on
Thursday.
Nearly 45,000 people committed suicide in 2016, making it one
of three leading causes of death in the United States, along with
Alzheimer's disease and drug overdoses.
