Although her cause of death has not been revealed, a spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department said a 911 caller claimed Burrell suffered a 'cardiac arrest.'
Meanwhile, a source told The Post that Burrell's body was discovered next to dozens of pills. The New York Times later reported that the NYPD is investigating her death as a possible overdose.
The city Medical Examiner's Office is said to be conducting a toxicology screening to see whether the pills played a part in her passing.

'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,' a rep for the Food Network told The Post shortly after Burrell's tragic passing. 'Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.'
Burrell, who hosted 'Worst Cooks in America' for 27 seasons, explained why she decided to temporarily step back from the show just months before her death.
'I can cook, yes, I can do TV, but also, what else? I've got more to do in my life, I feel like,' she said on Tori Spelling's 'misSPELLING' podcast in March.

'Interestingly, I just started taking acting classes. I started yesterday, actually … It's like an improv for actors' class,' Burrell continued.
'I got there and it's like eight people in the class,' the chef joked. 'I'm the oldest one.'
Just hours before her death, Burrell performed an improv comedy show in Brooklyn.
Those in attendance were left 'shocked and confused' about her passing because she was said to be in 'great spirits' upon leaving the show at the end of the night.
7 A wake was held for Burrell on the Upper East Side on Friday.

Mansion used in Julianne Moore's 'Sirens' is real and on Long Island
Siren song. Emmy-nominated production designer John Paino exclusively told The Post that the lavish mansion in the Netflix series 'Sirens' was real, not just a set. While the interior scenes were shot at a soundstage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he explained that the exterior scenes of the house were filmed 'on the north shore of Long Island near Southport.' Advertisement Paino, who also did production design for 'Big Little Lies,' 'The Morning Show,' and 'The Last of Us,' said, 'It is a summer home of very wealthy people, so we actually did a little scouting in Boston to look at some outrageous houses of some of the rich.' 8 John Paino attends the 28th annual Art Directors Guild Awards on February 10, 2024 in Hollywood. Getty Images He continued that the particular mansion they picked 'has a certain white New England look to it,' teasing, 'This house is on steroids – everything is big boned and dialed up to 11.' Advertisement Now streaming on Netflix, 'Sirens' follows Devon (Meghann Fahy, 'The White Lotus'), who thinks her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock, 'House of the Dragon'), needs to be rescued from her new job. Simone has been working for the wealthy socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), who Devon thinks is running a cult at her lavish beach estate. Kevin Bacon co-stars as Michaela's husband, Peter, and 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' star Glenn Howerton plays their friend and Simone's boyfriend, Ethan. 8 Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore in 'Sirens.' 8 Glenn Howerton, Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy in 'Sirens.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement To get the right look for Michaela's home, although they used the real facade of the Long Island house, they added to it, he explained. 'Basically, the house was not big enough. We built facades on top of it to make it appear bigger. The style is based on old architecture with nods to classical Greek architecture, like the temple of Delphi. That's why we have our atrium interior, which feels like a big museum.' There's a scene in 'Sirens' when Ethan (Howerton) accidentally takes a drunk plunge off a cliff. Paino explained that the house really was situated 'on a beautiful cliff – which was important to our story. It had great views of the ocean. The house was a starting off point. We added pergolas and facades and part of a turret.' 8 The set on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix Advertisement 8 The house's kitchen on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix 8 The set on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix He added, 'A bit of it was influenced by Nantucket.' Paino said that his inspiration for the color palette, which includes preppy pinks and pastels, was the 1965 film 'Juliet of the Spirits' by Federico Fellini. Since he worked on 'Big Little Lies,' the production designer is no stranger to designing the aesthetic of the uber-wealthy. The key? 'I think an outrageous dressing room and wardrobe area. We had some really nice ones here… the wardrobes and closets showcase things for that kind of wealth. So ['Sirens'] was 'Big Little Lies' really ramped up,' Paino shared. His favorite setpiece on 'Sirens' was the 40-foot anchor on the front lawn. 8 Julianne Moore as Michaela, Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell in 'Sirens.' MACALL POLAY/NETFLIX Advertisement 8 The huge anchor on the front lawn in 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix 'That was fun and that tells you a lot about Michaela. When you go around to places in New England, you see anchors on people's lawns.' He added, 'That was my idea because I had just seen so many anchors. In theory, the husband's wealth is ancient from old New England whaling. It's conceivable that there would be an anchor that big. And, we made sure the barbs on the end look like birds' claws as a nod to Michaela.'

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's misfits come together in 'Thunderbolts*', which hit theaters in May and began streaming on demand today, July 1. The latest MCU installment follows a handful of antiheroes, led by Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, as they're led into a death trap and forced to work together if they have any hope of escaping, but an even more dangerous mission awaits them outside, and the complicated group is forced to confront the darkest parts of their pasts if they have any hope of moving forward — as a team or not. RELATED: 'Thunderbolts*' post-credit sequence explained (beware spoilers!)
