The world was shaken by the tragic news of the untimely death of beloved celebrity chef, Russell Norman. As his family, friends, and fans grieved, questions arose about the cause of his passing. Finally, after much speculation, his cause of death has been revealed and confirmed by an inquest.
It was on November 23 when Norman, at the age of 57, took his own life by hanging. The inquest, held at Oakwood House in Maidstone, heard the heartbreaking details of his final moments. Just five days before his passing, he was discovered in the garden of his home in Kent, and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Despite the best efforts of his girlfriend and medical staff who attempted CPR, he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
The inquest also revealed that Norman suffered from severe brain damage, which ultimately led to his passing. His girlfriend, Dr. Genevieve Verdigel, an art historian, gave a statement about the tragic incident. She recounted how she found him lying unconscious in the garden and immediately called for help. She also revealed that a pulse was detected during resuscitation attempts, and he was quickly taken to the hospital. However, the damage to his brain was too severe, and doctors had to place him on end-of-life care.
It was also revealed that Norman had been showing suicidal tendencies before his death. This was a shocking revelation for those who knew him and loved him. In fact, his girlfriend shared a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram page, along with a photo of them smiling together. In her lengthy caption, she reflected on the epilogue of a novel, and how it often provides the most clarity. She also shared some of the final words Norman had written, which emphasized the importance of trusting oneself and keeping one's counsel.
The news of Norman's passing spread quickly, and tributes poured in from all corners of the world. His former co-stars, James Martin and Jay Rayner, both paid their respects to the late star. Martin described him as a "giant" in the restaurant world, while Rayner praised him as one of the most gifted of restaurateurs. He also mentioned how much fun it was to be around Norman, who lived life on his own terms.
As the world mourned the loss of this talented and beloved chef, many took to social media to express their sadness and share fond memories of him. In the midst of the tributes, a call for support was also made. The Samaritans helpline, which offers emotional support, was shared for those in need. For young people, the PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide UK was also mentioned, along with their 24/7 digital support platform.
