For the time being, it is planned that the ashes of the famous culinary host will be transported to the United States on Friday, just one week after the news about the death of the celebrity culinary genius broke out.
The 61-year-old TV host’s body was discovered on June 8 at his hotel room in Kaysersberg, France by his close friend and colleague Eric Ripert.
Bourdain and Ripert had been spending the last few days in this French region in preparation of an episode for Parts Unknown, Bourdain’s culinary and travel show for cable news network CNN.
According to information issued by French authorities that are responsible for the case, no evidence was found that would suggest the involvement of a third party.
The deceased’s remains will also be tested for the presence of drugs or other medications in his system.
