Food Network star Anne Burrell’s cause of death has been determined five weeks after the celebrity chef was found dead in her New York home.
The 55-year-old died on June 17 by suicide, the New York City medical examiner’s office said in a statement to HuffPost on Thursday following an autopsy investigation.
The co-host of “Worst Cooks in America” died from “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine,” the office said.
Paramedics were called to Burrell’s Brooklyn home on the morning of June 17 after she was found unresponsive, and she was declared dead at the scene. The 911 caller reported that she had gone into cardiac arrest, TMZ previously reported.
Burrell’s family released a statement at the time of her death that described her as a light that touched millions.
