Anthony Guidera, best known for his role in The Godfather Part III, died on Saturday.
He was 65.
The actor has been on life support since collapsing in his California residence in May, website TMZ reported on Tuesday, US time.
His cause of death remains unknown, reports Page Six.
Guidera is survived by wife Valarie, who told the outlet her late husband was hospitalised last month after his heart stopped.
To honour his previous wishes, Guidera was taken off of life support after three weeks and brought home, where he passed away over the weekend.
Valarie, who welcomed one son with Guidera during their time together, noted that doctors do not know what caused her partner’s sudden demise.
She shared a statement on Guidera’s passing via Facebook on Saturday, writing that she was “heartbroken to say goodbye”.
Her post read: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Anthony”.
“We are devastated and trying to breathe through the impossible, taking each moment as it comes. Please hold this eternal light in your hearts and our family in your prayers”.
Valarie often posted about Guidera and their son, Nick on the social media platform.
Last Father’s Day, she gushed that Guidera was “beyond a father, [but] a true influencer of dreams and an elevated foundation for love and the higher path”.
Guidera’s first acting role was in the third instalment of The Godfather in 1990 as a bodyguard named Anthony.
He went on to have roles in The Rock, Armageddon and more movies over the years.
His onscreen kiss with Species co-star Natasha Henstridge earned him an MTV Movie Award in 1996.
Guidera was last onscreen in 1999 as a gun seller in romance film The Annihilation of Fish.
