Shocking news out of Chicago this morning, renown chef, Charlie Trotter, age 54 was found dead in his home by his son Dylan. He was really such a pivotal figure in the restaurant industry in Chicago and closed his namesake restaurant in August. So sad that he did not get to enjoy his semi-retirement.

UPDATE: The Chicago Tribune reports that Chef Trotter may have been suffering from an inoperable brain aneurysm when he died. It is not yet clear, however, that the aneurysm directly caused the chef's death.

Hi,

This is from Chicago's LTH Forum:

Hi- It was mentioned on channel 5 last night, that Sneed from the Sun Times has found out that he died from a stroke. Apparently he flew to NYC earlier this year, and suffered a mild stroke after he came back, and was told to avoid flying, and high altitudes. He flew to Jackson Hole this week for some sort of cooking event, and did not feel well when he returned.
Here is the link to the column.

All,

Autopsy has confirmed the stroke diagnosis.
