Frank Tartaglia, a well-known South Philadelphia filmmaker, died recently at the age of 45. The announcement follows the screening of his most recent picture at the Philadelphia Film Festival. On November 24, 2022, the Pennsylvania Burial Company announced his death, and his followers expressed their sorrow. He died in his sleep, despite the fact that the cause of death was not divulged. His relatives reported that he was in excellent condition and that he was working on his next film.
Tartaglia’s enthusiasm, according to Peter Pelullo, co-owner of Ric Rac, which was also co-owned by Tartaglia, was unlike any other. James Doolittle, a film producer, paid respect to him and commented,
“He was a Dickens character from out of South Philly, full of droll self-awareness and a never-ending gift for helping to enhance the creative spark of hundreds of dreamers who strolled in and out of Connie’s Ric Rac throughout the years.”
Joseph, Frank’s brother, died of brain cancer in 2013. At the time, he was 44 years old.
The death of Frank Tartaglia sparked yet another discussion about the Covid-19 vaccination.
Although Frank Tartaglia died in his sleep, his death sparked public alarm about the COVID-19 vaccine’s potential side effects. The absence of a precise reason brought the problem to light. After Tartaglia died abruptly, many were suspicious. Frank’s family acknowledged that he was healthy, which aroused worries among netizens, the majority of whom questioned the vaccine’s potential adverse effects. Tartaglia’s family, on the other hand, has yet to publish a remark on the topic, and additional information is still anticipated.
