James
Gandolfini's teenage son discovered his father having a fatal heart
attack in their hotel bathroom, it emerged today.
The
Sopranos star was on vacation in Rome with Michael, 13, wife Deborah
and their nine-month-old daughter Liliana to 'reconnect with his
Italian roots' before the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily.
After
a family day out, Gandolfini, 51, had a heart attack in his bathroom
at the Hotel Boscolo and was found by Michael, who raised the alarm
and called the hotel reception, the hotel manager said.
His
Sopranos colleagues have led tributes from the showbiz world, with
the show's creator David Chase who compared him to Mozart, praising
him as 'one of the greatest actors of this or any time'.
An
autopsy on his body will take place today, as is required by Italian
law.
He
just celebrated the arrival of his daughter last year.
Life
is
too
short,
spend
time
with
those you love and who you love. Love God also.
Rest
in peace my friend. You brought
joy to
so many hearts
including mine.
