New reports are emerging on the potential cause of death for celebrity chef Anne Burrell. While the official cause of death has not yet been stated or determined, reports out today claim her body was found near “dozens of pills” and that the death could have been due to a drug overdose: Anne Burrell’s death under investigation as possible drug overdose: report https://t.co/zWMsdMmuaM pic.twitter.com/rmc8TDHZkL — New York Post (@nypost) June 21, 2025 Celeb chef Anne Burrell’s body found near dozens of pills, sources say https://t.co/RBduispTTs pic.twitter.com/jz1KJCmBwP — New York Post (@nypost) June 19, 2025 The NY Post has more details, including the original report that the 911 call claimed it was a cardiac arrest: The New York Police Department is reportedly investigating Burrell’s sudden death as a possible drug overdose, according to a document viewed by The New York Times on Friday. The internal document reportedly said that Burrell was “discovered in the shower unconscious and unresponsive surrounded by approximately (100) assorted pills.” A spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also confirmed on Friday that Burrell’s autopsy had been completed, but any findings connected to the cause and manner of her death were still pending. On Thursday, as the NYPD continued to investigate Burrell’s sudden and unexplained death, sources told The Post that the Food Network host’s body had been discovered next to dozens of pills inside her Brooklyn home. A spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also confirmed on Friday that Burrell’s autopsy had been completed. “Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend – her smile lit up every room she entered,” Burrell’s family said. “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world,” they added. “Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.” The Food Network also paid tribute to Burrell in a statement to The Post following the news of her death. “Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,” a rep for the network said. “Our thoughts are with Anne’s family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss,” they added. Although Burrell’s cause of death is still pending, the NYPD confirmed that she was found “unconscious and unresponsive” and pronounced dead at the scene. Shortly after, a spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department said that a 911 caller claimed Burrell had suffered a “cardiac arrest” and she was “dead on arrival” to the hospital. Law enforcement sources later revealed that Burrell’s husband, Stuart Claxton, found the beloved celebrity chef unconscious on the floor of their shower “between six and seven hours” after he had last seen her alive. When we originally brought you the news of her death, we stated that she was proudly vaxxed but we hoped that was not the cause of the death and if these new reports are correct it appears to not be linked. In any event, the death was far too young and tragic.

Tim McGraw’s story begins in the tiny north-Louisiana parish seat of Delhi and unfolds across three decades of unapologetic country dominance. Raised by his mother, Betty D’Agostino, and discovering at age eleven that legendary Major League pitcher Tug McGraw was his biological father, Tim carried both grit and ambition to college on a baseball scholarship. A knee injury redirected his competitive fire toward music; by 1989 he was in Nashville, guitar in hand, playing tip-jar gigs and waiting tables while cold-calling labels until Curb Records finally took a chance on him in 1990.

INXS began as “The Farriss Brothers” with their first performance on August 16, 1977, at Whale Beach, becoming INXS in 1979 after incorporating their distinctive sound that blended rock, funk, and new wave.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Barack Obama’s recent appearance at The Connecticut Forum once again revealed a troubling truth: the political establishment is becoming increasingly comfortable with the idea of government-managed speech. In an extended conversation with historian Heather Cox Richardson, the former president signaled that his tolerance for open discourse ends where his ideological preferences begin. Amid warnings about the spread of “propaganda” and falsehoods online, Obama floated the notion of imposing “government regulatory constraints” on digital platforms. His rationale? To counter business models that, in his opinion, elevate “the most hateful voices or the most polarizing voices or the most dangerous, in the sense of inciting violence.” But it doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see what’s really being proposed: a top-down mechanism to filter speech based on government-approved standards of truth. This wasn’t framed as a direct assault on the First Amendment, of course. Obama was careful to qualify that such regulations would remain “consistent with the First Amendment.” But that’s little comfort when the very premise involves the government determining which voices deserve a platform. Once the state takes a role in deciding what is true or acceptable, the line between moderation and censorship evaporates. Obama’s remarks included a reference to a saying he alleges is attributed to Russian intelligence and later adopted by Steve Bannon: “You just have to flood the zone with so much poop…that at some point people don’t believe anything.” This, he argued, is the tactic used by bad actors to disorient the public. What he failed to acknowledge is that the antidote to this isn’t more control, but more speech. Free people, given access to a full spectrum of views, are capable of discerning fact from fiction without government supervision. The real danger isn’t “too much speech.” It’s the increasing desire to place speech under bureaucratic management. Obama’s suggestion that some speech is too “hateful” or “dangerous” to be left unchecked invites a future where those in power decide what the public is allowed to hear, a vision completely incompatible with a free society. And we’ve already seen how that plays out. The Biden administration made repeated efforts to coerce tech companies into censoring dissenting views during the COVID-19 pandemic, flagging opinions that contradicted official narratives even when they later turned out to be correct. The justification was always the same: protecting people from harm. But in practice, it meant silencing lawful speech and punishing disagreement. Obama’s proposal echoes that same authoritarian instinct. The promise of safeguarding the public from falsehoods is used to justify speech controls that would ultimately chill dissent and punish deviation from dominant narratives. And who decides which views are “too hateful” or “too polarizing”? Politicians? Bureaucrats? Tech executives? The moment that power is granted, it will inevitably be abused.
