Hoax. EDIT ... or at least that's what I was reading about half an hour ago. Now more people are picking it up and not sure what to think.

EDIT 2: Oops, mediamass'd. RIP.

Variety and HBO confirmed it shortly after I shared the news in IRC.

HOLY FUCK.  :uhrr:

This guy was such a good actor, sometimes a lot better than the material he was cast in. This sucks.

Quite common for someone with his weight and stress level, sadly.

Perhaps I should use this as an opportunity to sit down and watch the Sopranos.  I've never seen it.

True enough. Maybe I should use this as an opportunity to get off my arse and do some exercise...

The Sopranos is good, well worth watching, but it's overly long and some of the writers were better than others. IMO they could have cut it down to 3 seasons (from 6) and made something much more focused.

Died fat as hell of a heart attack in Italy.  It's how he'd have wanted it, really.

I predict a slew of Fark threads where the headline abruptly cuts off mid sentence.

Sad though. Sopranos really was a great piece of work. First show I ever bought by the season, and then just sat down and watched all the way through.

Maybe it inspires just one of his fans to get off their butts and take their health seriously. That would be a positive.

Probably, but I would imagine he would have liked to tack on another 3 decades before it happened. He had an 8 month old baby  :heartbreak:

Really making me reevaluate my fitness/health. Only 8 years older than I am  :geezer:

When did you get so old?  I still think of you as a boy.  I think of Paelos and Schild as little boys.  I command all of you to stop aging immediately.  And no one can die before me.  Srsly. 

I've been going backwards in time for every birthday for several years now.  I'm not even entirely sure I've been born yet.

Is this a real thing ?  Seems retarded.

Fark or the Sopranos cut to Black meme?

(yes, Fark is a little retarded - but sometimes funny)
