"The New York Police Department confirmed to People that the note was left in the primary bedroom of Burrell's Brooklyn, NY, home and was found by an investigator following her death on June 17, 2025. The investigator also discovered several more "suicidal" journal entries on a bed in the same room, per the police report. The Food Network chef was found unconscious around 7:50 a.m. at her home, an NYPD spokesperson told Page Six at the time."
"Her death was specified as "acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine," according to the New York City medical examiner's office. Diphenhydramine and cetirizine are antihistamines, while ethanol is a compound found in alcohol. Amphetamine is commonly used to treat ADHD. In her final photo posted via Instagram five days before her death, Burrell appeared happy and healthy."
