Italian Filmmaker Jumps To His Death

This is so tragic.

Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Mario Monicelli died yesterday by jumping to his death from his hospital window.

The 95 year old was reportedly being treated for a terminal prostate tumor.

Just awful to see a man who made so many laugh with his films pass in such a devastating way.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones. R.I.P.
