Cardoz posted an update on his Instagram page Wednesday when he was first admitted to the hospital with a fever, saying he sought medical help as a precautionary measure.
“Sincere apologies everyone. I am sorry for causing undue panic around my earlier post. I was feeling feverish and hence as a precautionary measure, admitted myself into hospital in New York,” he wrote, adding he “was hugely anxious about my state of health.”
“Bravo and the Top Chef family are deeply saddened by the passing of Chef Floyd Cardoz. Floyd was a talented chef who competed and won Top Chef Masters, a Bravo spokesperson said in a statement. “He was thoughtful, kind and his smile illuminated a room.

Cardoz also appeared on season 2 of Netflix’s Ugly Delicious, a docuseries which follows award-winning chef David Chang around the globe. Chang posted a remembrance of Cardoz on Twitter.

But as great as a chef as Floyd was, he was a better person and amazing dad. I will miss you so much Floyd,” Chang concluded.
