How did Mario Lanza die?
[aa] Although the original FAQ erroneously reported that Mario Lanza committed suicide, this is not the case. He did however suffer an early death in Rome, about two months before the real-life Heavenly Creatures were released from incarceration in New Zealand. Ian D. Campbell writes: [Mario Lanza] had no suicidal tendencies, or reason. There is an unsubstantiated rumour that he was murdered by the Mafia, but this too is not really credible. He was in such poor health, they had no reason to kill him. He drank and ate himself into a very poor condition, and died in Rome of a heart attack.
