Bourdain was a larger-than-life figure -- a gifted chef and storyteller who used his books and shows to explore culture, cuisine and the human condition.
President Donald Trump extended his condolences to Bourdain's family. "I enjoyed his show," Trump said. "He was quite a character."
Former President Barack Obama recalled a meal he shared with Bourdain in Vietnam, an encounter captured in a "Parts Unknown" episode that year.
Bourdain's death came days after fashion designer Kate Spade died in a suicide at her Manhattan apartment. Suicide is a growing problem in the United States.
The risk of suicide declines sharply when people call the national suicide hotline:
1800-273-TALK.
