Fans Mourn the Sudden Death of Anne Burrell
Fans are devastated by the unexpected death of beloved TV chef Anne Burrell, who passed away early Tuesday morning, June 17, at her Brooklyn home. She was found unconscious and unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. She was just 55. The cause of death remains unknown, pending an autopsy.
Shockingly, Burrell appeared to be in good spirits the night before. On June 16, she performed in the finale of her improv class at The Second City in Brooklyn. Attendees described her as joyful, outgoing, and full of life—her usual vibrant self.
Her final Instagram post, shared just days before her death, showed her smiling with the “Green Lady of Brooklyn,” expressing delight at the encounter. A week earlier, she told fans she was “having an ABSOLUTE blast” with her improv classes and posted photos of herself and classmates.
