Four years after Anthony Bourdain’s death by suicide, his final text messages to girlfriend Asia Argento have been revealed.
Charles Leerhsen’s unauthorized biography of the late chef, titled Down and Out in Paradise, chronicles Bourdain’s culinary career and an intimate account of his final days in France before his June 2018 death.
Leerhsen even shared the final messages that Bourdain allegedly sent to Argento, 47, in the book, which is set for a Tuesday, October 11, release.

“I wrote clearly to this man that he could not publish anything I said to him,” she told the New York Times in a Tuesday, September 27, statement, noting she had not read the text.
