Tragic Loss on Set: Emily in Paris Assistant Director Dies in Venice
SHOCKING DEATH ROCKS NETFLIX SET: Assistant Director of Emily In Paris Dies Suddenly During Filming
The Netflix series that has been making waves with its scandalous love triangles and fabulous fashion sense has just suffered a devastating blow. Diego Borella, the 47-year-old assistant director of the hit show Emily in Paris, passed away suddenly while filming the fifth season in Venice.
According to sources, Borella collapsed on set at the historic Hotel Danieli in front of his horrified crew members. Despite frantic attempts by paramedics, he was pronounced dead at 7:30 pm on Thursday, August 17th. The cause of death is believed to be a heart attack.
The news has sent shockwaves through the cast and crew, who were reportedly still reeling from the loss as filming was abruptly halted. "It's like a punch in the gut," said Mattia Berto, a longtime friend of Borella. "He was a beautiful person with a great sense of humor and an incredible talent. It's just devastating to lose him so suddenly."
Borella, born in Venice in 1978, had made a name for himself as a director and writer, having trained in some of the world's top cities, including Rome, London, and New York. He was also an accomplished author, having published fairy tales, haikus, and plays.
The tragic news comes just days after Netflix announced that season five of Emily in Paris would be released on December 18th. The new season promises to bring even more drama and romance to the small screen, as Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) navigates a new city - Rome - with her French lifestyle and a handsome new love interest.
But behind the scenes, it seems that real-life drama has struck one of the show's key creative team members. Borella was an integral part of the production team, and his sudden departure has left many wondering how this will impact the show's fifth season.
"We're all still in shock," said a source close to the production. "Diego was more than just a colleague; he was a friend to everyone on set. We'll miss him dearly."
The news of Borella's death also raises questions about the health and safety protocols in place for cast and crew members working long hours under intense pressure.
As Emily Cooper navigates her way through Rome, it seems that real-life drama is mirroring the show's plot twists. Will season five be able to recover from this devastating blow? Only time will tell.
