A concerned neighbor, having not seen any activity at Vincent Pastore's apartment in the Bronx for days, finally managed to access the property and found the actor's lifeless body. He was 80 years old and had a daughter. Although no signs of violence were found, and everything points to a natural death, the police have launched an investigation to determine the causes of death. The performer had a long television career, but he became particularly popular for the character of Salvatore, aka Big Pussy, in HBO's series Los Soprano.
