A
grandson of the late screen actress Rita Hayworth has been found dead
in an apparent suicide in New York City. Police say 25-year-old Andrew
Embiricos was discovered in his Manhattan apartment Sunday night with a
bag over his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No crime is
suspected. A spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office says the
cause of his death is pending autopsy results. Embiricos was the son of
Hayworth’s daughter Yasmin Aga Khan, a philanthropist known for
publicizing the plight of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Hayworth, who rose to fame in the 1940s and ‘50s in movies such as
“Cover Girl” and “Gilda,” died in 1987 of Alzheimer’s disease at age 68.
