ENRICO COLANGELI ALSO FOUND DEAD
Enrico "Rico" Colangeli, 48, was found dead by police inside of an apartment in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice Beach early Saturday morning after suffering a suspected drug overdose.
Speaking to The Sun, Colangeli's cousin Maria Spencer voiced heartbreak over the performer's sudden, tragic death.
"Enrico (Ricky) was incredibly loved by his entire family, and we’ll miss him more than words can describe," she said.
Spencer described her cousin as "not only a smart, talented comedian but was also a highly skilled carpenter who worked for his family’s construction company."
She said her entire family has been left "deeply saddened" by his passing.
"Losing Ricky is a true heartbreak and is a devastating loss for his siblings, nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins who have many fond memories of family Sunday dinners, amazing Christmas Eve meals, and other family celebrations that can only be remembered as epic," she added.
"We loved Ricky dearly and his death is leaving a hole in our hearts that is somewhat comforted by knowing he is now at peace in the arms of his loving parents, Lynda and Rico, who we lost in 2019."
