Anne Burrell left a “suicidal note” dated the morning of her death, according to a new police report.
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.
Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene and pronounced her dead.
Two days after Burrell’s death, sources confirmed to The Post that her husband, Stuart Claxton, discovered her body on the shower floor.
Sources added she was found unconscious next to dozens of pills, but that it was premature to speculate on whether the pills played any role in her death.
On June 20, 2025, the NYPD told Page Six that the “Worst Cooks in America” star’s death was being investigated as a possible drug overdose.
A month later, her official cause of death was revealed 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.
