Way too young. RIP Mr Gandolfini.

My favorite Gandolfini role was as Winston Baldry in The Mexican. 

 

R.I.P. James.

[Voltron]

I imagine he was thinking of the ducks when he passed.

 

 

RIP JIMMY

[Wmcmanus]

So young, so sad, an apparent heart attack.  RIP.

[Pars]

Yes, shocking... way too young. RIP.

[postjack]

Just saw this in the times, shocked. Rest in peace.

I just watched the final scene of the Sopranos that Ric posted (for the 1000th time) and not to be too melodramatic about it or go off on a tangent, but it Gandolfini's death somehow for me really brings out the sadness in that beautiful sequence.

[Torpedo]

Shocking and sad. Great loss, he'll be missed.

I haven't seen it since the original airing, but does the ending also seem much less nebulous now?

Italy is awesome but I would hate to be in his situation anywhere at all remote from immediate healthcare.

To me, absolutely yes, much less.

[Voltron]

a hotel in Rome shouldn't be remote from immediate healthcare.

If it was really Rome then that is inexcusable.

[Torpedo]

Problem in Rome is traffic. It's always heavily congested, damn slow. Even an ambulance would have trouble there.

[robm321]

From what I've read, the ambulance got there quickly and the 40 minutes was how long they tried to revive him. 

[robm321]

No, unfortunately, it doesn't. 

 

Either way, if/when I go to Italy, I'll be sure to take a first aid kit with me.

...and a defibrillator. 

[emelius]

laughing at the thought of how quickly you'd get pounced on trying to take an AED onto a plane...We used to have a test mode in the x-ray machine that would display grenades & pipe bombs to keep you on your toes...No way you'd get through with that w/o a thorough prodding/probing...

I may have to hit up HBOGo to rewatch the last episode of The Sopranos...
