Anne Burrell may have suffered cardiac arrest prior to her death, a spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) told Newsweek on Thursday.
The Food Network icon died on Tuesday at the age of 55 at her home in Brooklyn, New York.
Newsweek contacted a New York City Fire Department spokesperson via email outside regular working hours.
The Context
Burrell rose to fame as a sous chef on Food Network’s Iron Chef America, and she later hosted her own Emmy-nominated series Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. The Cook Like a Rock Star author was also the longtime host of Worst Cooks in America, where she and chef Robert Irvine mentored amateur cooks.
On Tuesday at 7:50 a.m. local time, a 911 caller alerted authorities of a possible “cardiac arrest” at 505 Court Street, the FDNY said in a statement to Newsweek. The person was declared “DOA [dead on arrival].”
A New York City Police Department spokesperson told Newsweek on Wednesday that “officers responded to a 911 call of an aided female inside 505 Court Street, within the confines of the 76 Precinct. Upon arrival, officers observed a 55-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive. EMS responded and pronounced the female deceased at the scene.”
