Anne Burrell Was Found Surrounded by ‘Large Quantity’ of Pills, According to Reports

New details have emerged surrounding the death of celebrity chef Anne Burrell.

Sources tell The New York Post that Anne, 55, was surrounded by dozens of pills when her husband Stuart Claxton found her in the shower at her Brooklyn home on Tuesday.

TMZ’s law enforcement insiders also confirmed the “large quantity” of pills at the scene.

According to the site, Claxton last saw Burrell alive at 1 a.m., six to seven hours before the shocking discovery.

He reportedly called 911 around 8 a.m.

People reports the 911 call to the New York Fire Department was for a person who may have suffered a cardiac arrest. While Anne’s name was not used, the address matched Burrell’s.

The New York Police Department responded to Burrell’s home, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her official cause of death has not been determined by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner.

Anne married husband Stuart Claxton in 2021, and was stepmom to his son Javier.

She was best known for hosting “Worst Cooks in America” on Food Network.

A spokesperson from the network shared in a statement, “Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring. Our thoughts are with Anne’s family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.”

In 2020, Anne opened up to "Extra" about her relationship with Stuart.

The couple met on Bumble, and she said from the second they met, they knew they had each found the right person.

“I'm 50 years old, I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh, I can't believe this is happening.'” She added, “Stuart didn't know who I was… He was not a Food Network fan, he didn't know chef Anne Burrell. I think that kind of helped."

Claxton popped the question during quarantine, and she recalled, “[He] planned for us to have a date night… My mom set a beautiful table… He started talking about songs that should be on our playlist at our wedding… Then he got down one knee.”

Showing off her ring, she gushed, “He did a really beautiful job.”

About a month after their wedding, "Extra" spoke with her again.

Anne said of married life, “It is great. We are still riding the high from the wedding. It was so delightful and fun… When it was all happening, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m in my wedding dress and walking down the aisle.”
