Anthony Bourdain's mother, Gladys Bourdain, plans to get her first and only tattoo in memory of her son. Gladys, a former editor at The New York Times, told the publication she will get "Tony" tattooed in small letters [1] on the inside of her wrist. Anthony had lots of tattoos, many inspired by his culinary and travel experiences, and his mom said she was "never a fan" of them. She will go to Anthony's tattoo artist for her commemorative ink.

The Times also revealed that Anthony had no narcotics in his system when he died earlier this month [2]. French officials investigating the chef's death concluded that there was only a "nonnarcotic medicine in a therapeutic dose" when he died by suicide in his hotel room in the Alsace region of France on June 8. There are no plans for a public memorial, and instead the family will have a private ceremony. "He would want as little fuss as possible," Gladys said.
