No one really knows why another person may commit suicide, but Anthony Bourdain went through a divorce a few months ago, and in a previous interview he stated that he contemplated suicide but his daughter talked him out of it and "gave him a reason to live." A person will take their life not only because they feel they are suffering, but there are also people who take their life because of sudden success; not saying this was what Anthony Bourdain did, he had success for a long time and seemingly handled it well. But public figures usually appear a different way in public than they may feel in private.

P.S. I found it interesting how the actor Val Kilmer posted that he was angry at Anthony Bourdain for taking his life, because he said he loved Anthony Bourdain, and a lot of people on social media jumped on Val Kilmer for being angry at Anthony Bourdain. Anger is one of the stages of grieving loss and I don't think those people understood that.
