Burrell's shocking death has been ruled a suicide after first responders discovered her dead inside her New York home.

Food Network paid tribute to Anne Burrell during Monday's season premiere of Worst Cooks in America. The season 29 premiere kicked off Burrell's final season as a mentor on the show, just a month after the celebrity chef was found dead in her Brooklyn, N.Y. home at 55.
