James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal but emotionally delicate crime boss in HBO's The Sopranos was the brilliant center of one of television's greatest drama series ,and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, died recently in Italy. He was 51.Rico says one look at the guy, why is anyone surprised?
The New Jersey native died while vacationing in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini's managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement.
Dr. Claudio Modini, head of the emergency room at the Policlinic Umberto I hospital in Rome, said Gandolfini suffered a cardiac arrest. He arrived at the hospital at 10:40 pm Wednesday and was pronounced dead at 11 pm after resuscitation efforts in the ambulance and hospital failed, Modini said.
Modini told The Associated Press that an autopsy would be performed starting 24 hours after the death, as required by law.
