Late Food Network star Anne Burrell had a bunch of pills nearby when her husband found her unresponsive on their shower floor … TMZ has confirmed.
Law enforcement sources tell us “a large quantity of” unknown pills were found around where Anne died in her Brooklyn home.
TMZ broke the story … Anne’s husband, Stuart Claxton, found her unconscious early Tuesday morning, lying on the shower floor inside their bathroom.
We’re told Anne’s husband last saw her alive around 1 AM the night before … then found her between six and seven hours later in the shower. Claxton then called 911.
Our sources told us the 911 operator advised Claxton to perform CPR … but Anne’s body was cold, and it’s unclear if he actually performed CPR.
The medical examiner has not yet determined Anne’s official cause of death … however, a rep for the NYC Fire Department said the incident was reported to them as a cardiac arrest.
Anne, who hosted “Worst Cooks in America” on Food Network, was only 55.
