the_engineer 1,415 Posted November 27, 2019 That's the first surprise death in a while. Quite a few ready steady cook episodes were it was Gary Rhodes vs Ross burden and both now dead at a relatively Young age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like he was ill. The statement also mentioned he was working till the day he died - those words are usually used when the person was ill but carried on through the illness rather than a sudden death.

DevonDeathTrip 2,359 Posted November 27, 2019 According to Independent, Rhodes had his own range of "cooking items and bread mixes". So somewhere out there there may be packets bearing the legend "Gary Rhodes Brown Bread"? 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. It was a sudden event, a "subdural hematoma, which is usually associated with a brain injury". The announcement doesn't go into details, but he had possibly had a fall or banged his head somehow (speculation only). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50587782 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way very sad and sudden for his nearest and dearest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Word "unfortuneately" appears twice in an explanation that has him collapsing after dinner and sustaining a head injury that led to the subdural hematoma that killed him https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50587782 So, were some recreational drugs involved between the dinner table and the collision with the floor, or summat?

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 7, 2020 The legendary chef Gray Kunz, whose restaurant Lespinasse was one of the New York’s most influential fine-dining destinations, has died. He was 65. The cause of death is not yet known, but the news, which started circulating on social media, was confirmed by Swire Hotels, a company with which Kunz ran restaurants abroad. Kunz became famous as the exacting, creative culinary mind behind Lespinasse in the ’90s, a restaurant that was a farm system for top New York chefs. Andrew Carmellini, Floyd Cardoz, Rocco DiSpirito, Corey Lee, and others worked under him there (that's not a euphemism), and the restaurant is still talked about 17 years after it closed.
