The entertainment industry mourned the loss of actor Ray Liotta last year when he passed away at the age of 67. However, it was only recently that the cause of his death was revealed. Liotta died from respiratory insufficiency, pulmonary edema, and acute heart failure. Doctors in the Dominican Republic, where he was filming a movie at the time, reported that his death was natural and nonviolent. They also noted that Liotta suffered from atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque on artery walls.
Liotta was a well-known actor, best known for his portrayal of mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams.” He was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1954.
The actor was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2023, showing that his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for years to come.
