The day before it was reported that on the morning of June 17, 2025, Burrell was found in an unresponsive condition at her home in Brooklyn, and emergency workers could not restore her pulse. She died at only 55.
Later testimonies state that Burrell was high-spirited the evening prior to her demise. The popular TV chef was present on Monday, June 16, at an improv comedy show at The Second City in Brooklyn, her final week of improv classes on Instagram.
We have been told by a source that said everyone told us how great she was last night and how happy she was.
Yet another source present with her at the show verified: We left and what an improvement she was last night during and after the improv show. Ordinary fun, gregarious, Anne, enjoying herself.”
The New York City Police Department, in its turn, stated that Burrell was found in an unconscious and unresponsive state and declared dead at the site.
Recent revelations have now emerged on how Burrell was first found lying on the floor of the shower by her husband Stuart Claxton.
TMZ reports being told by law enforcement sources that Claxton last saw his wife alive about 1am the previous evening. He later discovered her lying in a fainting condition six to seven hours later in the couple bathroom.
Daily Mail report that Claxton called 911 and she was instructed to provide CPR. But the body of Burrell was said to have already been cold.
Even the potential cause of death is now brought out, as the Daily Mail reports that the New York Fire Department has confirmed that they had arrived at a scene of reported cardiac arrest at 7.50am on Tuesday.
Describing her, the family said, Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend and her smile was the brightest in any room she entered.
The light beam of Anne went much further than her circle of relations, and reached millions of people over the whole world. She may not be here with us but her demeanor, her heart and her infinite love never perish.”
Burrell was born on September 21, 1969 in Cazenovia, New York, and she learned to love cooking at a young age through her mother who had home made meals and the inspiration of cooking icon Julia Child.
Anne was on a mission to make fun out of cooking instead of being frightening. On programs such as Worst Cooks in America, she concentrated on getting novices through motivation and encouragement, enabling the individuals to become confident using the approach that mistakes are all part of the educational process.
She emphasized also that it was essential to be prepared and disciplined in the kitchen. Get a recipe to it. Do not attempt to wing it. She said, find a recipe, read a few recipes and then pick out the one you feel most comfortable with, or like the most, then read it through all the way to the end before you start cooking.
Anne and her husband Stuart matched on Bumble in 2018 and got engaged in April 2020 during quarantine in New York, getting married a year later in October at a wedding involving close friends and their co-workers on the Food Network.
In a March 2023 interview with People, Anne said of their relationship, in reflecting: “I have to say, I love being married.” Stuart works at home so we are together constantly. It is being together all the time, but it is also being together in the adventure.” Stuart appended: Wonderful, as you might say.”
The couple moved into a renovated Brooklyn loft and led their new life together. Anne said: We are in the process of preparing the marital home. And it has just been so enjoyable to watch all that come together.”
Anne Burrel rest in peace.
