An Italian paramedic allegedly swiped a $3,000 Rolex from a dying James Gandolfini, according to court documents.
Gandolfini was visiting the capital Rome with his family in 2013 when he suffered a fatal heart attack. As he lay dying in the Boscolo Luxury Hotel Exedra, Paramedic Claudio Bevilacqua allegedly stole the luxury timepiece as he rendered aid to the actor.
According to prosecutors, the 43-year-old took advantage of the chaos that ensued in rushing the “Sopranos” actor to the hospital.
Two members of the hotel’s security staff noticed the disappearance of the watch and alerted the family. It was then reported as stolen property on an insurance form filed by Gandolfini’s family.
