Princess Beatrice's ex-boyfriend was found dead earlier this year in a Miami hotel room following a suspected overdose. The US city's police department has confirmed the identity of a man who died in the M Miami Worldcenter hotel on February 7 as Paolo Liuzzo, according to TheIndependent. Mr Liuzzo's death is being investigated as an ''overdose death'' according to the police.
His body was flown back to Long Island, New York, and a funeral took place on February 16. His death certificate says he had been working as an art industry consultant and never married.
Sources said he had struggled with drugs and racked up big gambling debts. A longtime friend of Mr Liuzzo said, ''Paolo was not doing great on a personal level. He loved to party and gamble. He began using a lot of pharmaceutical drugs but that later led to cocaine and harder drugs. It was a very fast lifestyle and we all feared it would catch up with him eventually. He was always borrowing money to pay off loans. It became a vicious cycle.''
