I wonder if Eric has any pertiant information at the possibilities of other motives about Anthony being killed? He would be smart to never tell if he does. You might want to zip it up if you do. You might end up in a mysterious passing. These two look like great friends. They must have talked about everything. ⁉️. I wonder if he also knew about Ava having a relationship with Anthony’s 16 year old son?

My heart is heavy for Bourdain's loss, but it is far more heavy for those who actually/REALLY knew him. Yes, I'm speaking to you Eric, even though you may never see this. I think he was a great man because of the stories I've heard/seen, however you know he will always be a great man, for you knew him better than most.

Self loathing leads to self destruction and self destruction leads to self loathing. What a tragic paradox Anthony’s life was. Brilliant, interesting, articulate, boldly candid but he just couldn’t stop the inner raging....and his rage had no source, no target. That’s the saddest part. It was mind chaos and will anyone ever know why or from where it originated? In the end he was such an amazing and lovable LOVABLE guy. Tremendous loss. Eric embodies purity in every sense. What a beautiful, real friend for Anthony to have had. Just feel sad watching this today. Sometimes the ending of a life can be interrupted or thwarted as easily and as simply as a moment’s distraction by an unexpected call of a visit from a friend. A second’s delay can literally be all the time and distraction it takes to redirect a despairing person’s thoughts.
