Anne Burrell’s untimely death this June 17 was met with tributes and sadness from fans. Her long career as a television personality who dealt with food made fans from all walks of life invite her into their homes every time she had a new television show. While her passing was initially shocking, details are finally trickling in to give a glimpse of what might have actually happened on that fateful day.
The Chopped star was reportedly found by her husband, Stuart Claxton, on the shower floor at their house in Brooklyn at 7:50 a.m. Claxton then called 911, who instructed him to perform CPR on Burrell, who was unresponsive at the time. By the time the paramedics arrived, however, they found the situation beyond any medical assistance and announced Burrell as DOA. Claxton also reportedly found Burrell surrounded by multiple pills.
