Sad and shocking news of James Gandolfini suffering a heart attack and dying at age 51.  According to TMZ, he was in Italy for business and pleasure.  Spending time with his son, Michael, and attending the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily.

TMZ also reports that the man who famously played Tony Soprano was excited about getting some new ink at a tattoo shop before his death.

It is believed that James suffered a heart attack while in Italy which led to his death.

Very unexpected and sad, I never like reporting about anyone dying.
