Anne Burrell shared her infectious energy the night before her passing.
The Food Network star—who died at her Brooklyn Home June 17—performed in an improv show at Second City the night of June 16, the Brooklyn comedy venue confirmed.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and student, Anne Burrell,” Second City said in a statement posted to Instagram along with a selfie of Burrell at the venue. “She will be missed and remembered as a vibrant part of our Second City New York Training Center community.”
“Anne brought joy, boldness, and an unwavering ‘yes, and’ spirit,” the statement continued. “Her enthusiasm was contagious, her presence unforgettable. Our thoughts go out to Anne’s family and loved ones.”
Details on the Worst Cooks in America host’s final performance come after the New York Police Department shed some light on how Burrell’s body was discovered the following morning.
In a statement shared with NBC News, the NYPD confirmed they were called to an address in Brooklyn—one that matches Burrell’s personal information—shortly before 8:00 a.m. over a report about “an unconscious and unresponsive 55-year-old female.”
