The Main chef Anthony Sedlak, 29, found dead
NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Canadian celebrity chef Anthony Sedlak has died at the age of 29.
Sedlak's family has released a statement saying he collapsed Friday, July 6, from an undiagnosed medical condition and his body was found later that day in his North Vancouver apartment.
Sedlak was best-known as the host of Food Network Canada's The Main, and a judge on Family Cook Off, as well as author of the national bestselling cookbook The Main.
By the time he was 13, Sedlak knew he wanted to be a chef and, by 19, had completed a culinary arts program and four-year apprenticeship in Vancouver, before spending almost two years at La Trompette, a Michelin-starred restaurant in London, England.
At 23, Sedlak won silver representing Canada at the World Junior Chef Challenge in New Zealand, and just months later, won Food Network's Superstar Chef Challenge, before going on to host his own show on that network for four seasons.
The statement from the Sedlak family thanks his fans and associates for all their love, devotion and condolences, and says a private funeral service will be held in Vancouver.
