Depression is underestimated. Please take care of yourselves, friends.

He was fantastic. I'll be bummed about this one for a good long while.

Now what would those theories be?

From what I've seen, that Bourdain was killed for having dirt on Clinton, that he owed money to the Triads and they tracked him down, that Hollywood boogiemen/Illuminati did it for his role in exposing the sexual assaults, and that Putin/Xi Jinping/<dictator> killed him and made it look like a suicide for his criticisms of Russia/China/Banana Republics and other dictatorships. Because never mind the fact that he was extremely outspoken about his depression and mental health.
Maybe this is just how some of them cope? Likely it's a bunch of whackjobs being whackjobs.

... suicide is apparently something you don't grow out of, like Robin Williams and Chris Cornell.

I heard Courtney Love hired a hit.
Ok, in all seriousness, he seems like a good guy that purposefully went out of his way to show pockets of the world. His shows were more informative about the history of a culture than dusty old textbooks. Really seemed like he had a finger on the pulse of everything in life and anywhere he went he became the most interesting person in the room. I would purposefully avoid his shows sometimes when I really needed to go to sleep, knowing that if I watched more than 10 seconds then I would stay awake until the end.
What bothers me is that suicide is apparently something you don't grow out of, like Robin Williams and Chris Cornell.

Do you think materialism is a big factor? Suicides have been going up since ‘99. The materialist conception of the universe will inevitably give way to nihilism. Once nihilism takes hold it doesn’t let go.

I think that's part of it. Recessions are tied to this, as well, so you've got the Dot Com bust and the 07 Recession in there as well.
