Police have released new photos from the scene of chef Anne Burrell’s death last year, and they reportedly show a number of pills and medicine bottles scattering the area.
The images, which the New York Police Department shared with People on Tuesday, show pills in a dish near the toilet bowl, as well as bottles of Advil, Zyrtec, Motrin and a ValuMeds allergy-relief antihistamine lying sideways on the bathroom floor, according to the outlet.
Additionally, discarded cigarette butts were seen in another photo, on the floor next to a lighter.

Page Six has reached out to the NYPD for comment.
Burrell died at the age of 55 on June 17, 2025. The TV personality was found unconscious around 7:50 a.m. at her Brooklyn, NY, home that morning, a New York Police Department spokesperson told Page Six.
She was found next to dozens of pills by her husband, Stuart Claxton.
A month after her death, the New York City medical examiner’s office confirmed Burrell had died by suicide, with her death specified as “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.”

A close friend of the Food Network star exclusively told Page Six that underneath her “big personality,” Burrell secretly “struggled.”
“I know she kind of struggled — once she was on TV and was on her way to be a TV celebrity chef,” the source told us.
“She was famous, she was doing the food and wine circuit stuff. She was busy — I kind of felt like she wasn’t totally happy. People with big personalities sometimes mask things.”

“She had, like the rest of us, demons,” they added. “She didn’t let me in too much. [As a TV star], you have so many high moments. In private, you’re going to have a letdown.”
