"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," CNN said in a statement Friday morning. Christian De Rocquigny du Fayel, a prosecutor in the town of Colmar, confirmed Bourdain's death and said local law enforcement is investigating. 'At this stage nothing suggests the involvement of a third party,' the prosecutor said, adding that'a doctor at the scene' had confirmed Bourdin's death by hanging. Bourdain's death, coming days after the suicide of designer Kate Spade, brings to the forefront the complex issue of depression and how Artificial Intelligence can prevent these tragic decisions. A few years ago, a team of Harvard researchers developed the Beiwe platform, which attempted to leverage mobile phone technology and data science to offer medicine a wealth of additional information on disease digital phenotypes, including those of depression.
