Yesterday the sudden and unexpected death of celebrity chef Anne Burrell was announced. It was initially said that she was "surrounded by family" which gave the impression that it was the result of an ongoing illness. Apparently not so. Tonight it is being reported that her husband found her unresponsive and cold in the shower at like 7:30am after last seeing her alive after 1am. The 911 call said that the chef was in cardiac arrest but when the EMTs arrived the pronounced her DOA (dead on arrival). Supposedly 911 advised her husband to perform CPR on her but it isn't clear if he did that. I wouldn't hold it against it him if he didn't if she was already cold. My sister did it on my dad 2 years ago and is still traumatized from it. What a sad loss for her family, friends, and the Food Network world. She was my favorite!
