Chef Floyd Cardoz died at Mountainside Medical Center in New Jersey as a result of complications from coronavirus, a spokesperson for his Hunger Inc. Hospitality Group confirms to PEOPLE. He was 59.

The Top Chef Masters winner was first admitted to the hospital with a fever last Wednesday, and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

At the time, he posted an update on his Instagram page, 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.”

1. Mountainside doesn't sound like the kind of place

he could effectively choose to admit himself. He was in trouble when he posted his last Instagram.

We will lose many we've never met but who are nevertheless special to us.

RIP, Chef Cardoz.
