Princess Beatrice’s ex-boyfriend Paolo Liuzzo was found dead in a Miami hotel room following a suspected overdose, it has been reported.
Liuzzo, 42, was discovered at the citizenM Worldcenter hotel, a four-star hotel in downtown Miami shortly after 3pm on February 7, the Miami Police Department told The Sun.
The cause of death has not been disclosed.
However, Michael Vega, an officer with the Miami police department, said Liuzzo’s death was being “investigated as an overdose death”, and the inquiry remains “ongoing”.
Police attended the room at 3.22pm on February 7 and Liuzzo’s time of death was given as 3.34pm, he said.
Insiders suggested Liuzzo had struggled with drugs for some time, and been plunged into a “vicious cycle” of gambling-related debt.
“Paolo was not doing great on a personal level,” one friend told The Sun.
“It was a very fast lifestyle and we all feared it would catch up with him eventually.”
