Dark Horse Comics Editor Karen Berger Remembers Anthony Bourdain

People are still processing the death and suicide of Parts Unknown host Anthony Bourdain, including his friend and editor at Dark Horse Comics Karen Berger.

Berger worked with Bourdain on his Dark Horse project Hungry Ghosts, and she shared her thoughts on the famed chef and writer's passing on social media. "I am shocked and devastated to hear about Anthony Bourdain," Berger wrote. "This is so unbelievably sad. He was brilliant, bold and so incredibly talented. My heart goes out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace."

The sad news of Bourdain's suicide was confirmed this morning by CNN after he was found in a France hotel room by his close friend Eric Ripert. "It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the release read. "His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time."
