Rome (CNN) -- James Gandolfini probably died of a heart attack, according to the head of a Rome hospital's emergency department where the actor was taken.

The body of the actor was transferred to the morgue at the Policlinico Umberto I hospital in Rome early Thursday, where it awaited an autopsy.

By law, medical examiners in Italy are required to carry out the postmortem 24 hours after the body's arrival in the morgue, a hospital spokesman said.

Professor Claudio Modini, head of the emergency department where the actor was taken, said he could not be certain of the cause of death until after the autopsy -- but it was "probably a natural cause of death, myocardial infarction," or heart attack.

Emergency room doctors had not noted any suspicious factors, such as alcohol, on his medical report, he said.

Ambulance staff tried to resuscitate the actor at the hotel, and further efforts were made when he reached the emergency room, Modini said, but Gandolfini was dead when he arrived at the hospital, and "there was nothing to do."

Before Italian authorities can release his remains for transport back to the United States, the U.S. Embassy in Rome must issue a death certificate.

No one from the embassy or Gandolfini's family has contacted the morgue yet, said morgue spokesman Antonio Spasola.

The U.S. Embassy said it was "deeply upset" by the news of Gandolfini's premature death but had not yet received any official confirmation from local authorities.

The embassy "will offer any proper assistance to the family when they request it," its statement said.

Having watched every episode of the Soprano's, I laughed at this and the time someone spent putting it together.

 

NY Post reported that his last supper was two large orders of fried prawns with chili mayonnaise, a large order of foie gras, 4 shots of rum, two piña coladas, and two beers.
