What is it about great chefs, drug abuse and suicide?

I really don’t know but I suspect it’s linked to the stress of stardom. By that I mean one must strive to be the best (in order to be singled out and recognised) but is then required to maintain that level because if you don’t you’ll risk losing relevance, industry respect and of course decent paying gigs. You’re constantly under pressure and under fear of being yesterday’s hero.

That and cocaine and meth.

I would probably slit my wrists being forced to watch Masterchef. I can imagine hosting the show would have been torturous.

I'm doing something I never usually do at the moment: I'm watching the Channel 10 Five O'Clock News.

They just did an extensive story on this guy, as I assume his TV show was on Channel 10.

I didn't know him by name, but I do recognise his face.

Seemed like a nice guy who had some drug troubles in the past but managed to turn his life around.

Found in a hotel room? Undecided

Phone call from the wife saying she'd had enough and she was taking the kids and moving away? Who knows?

Incredibly sad though, and now we have dipshit lastnail exploiting his obvious suicide in order to push his dangerous anti-vaxx agenda.

Could one of the Mods please move this thread out of the 'Coronavirus' board? Thanks.

RIP Mr. Zonfrillo.

Reminds me of the sad Anthony Bourdain story Cry

Peccahead,
During a pandemic we have the right to ask if any death was caused
by Covid or the dangerous Covid vaccines.

apologise.

Never heard of the guy, but it's a tragedy for him to die so young.

Terrible for his wife and young kids.

It appears to be a suicide:

"He died in Melbourne yesterday. A statement from Victoria Police said officers attended a hotel on Lygon Street for a welfare check, where they located a deceased man at approximately 2am. The police said the death was not being treated as suspicious."

Very sad.

"No cause of death has been released."

apologise.

When someone dies from a suicide, you do not go about criticising the people who have reprimanded others for claiming that the death of the person had something to do with vaccines.

This topic should be deleted or merged with the one in the food forum.

Correct. So, what's with the "What's the bet that....." in your first post of the thread?

Oh I didn’t realise a post was up about the sad death of MasterChef judge Jock.
I put it up in the food thread since he’s a chef.
But age 46… suddenly with heart attack?
I was reading back over the last couple years news items during the pandemic and came across this I took a photo that came up on the tv on the news ….

Yet you didn't bother to see what the story was about???

Where is the coroners report it was suicide?
I can’t find any report that it was.

In this latest report… it’s basically a rumour that some twit started on twitter.

Nor have there been reports it was because of a vaccine however you never pulled up anyone about that did you....News reports have stated anyone needing support should ring lifeline which is obvious why....Are you really that stupid.....Of course you are and your posts confirm it!!!
