Ray Liotta’s death nearly a year ago came unexpectedly, while he was out of the country filming a movie.

TMZ reports that the actor from New Jersey, who was 67, died from heart and lung issues.

Citing documents from officials in the Dominican Republic, where Liotta was filming the movie “Dangerous Waters,” the outlet reports that Liotta’s May 2022 death was attributed to acute heart failure, respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema.

Liotta, who reportedly died in his sleep, also suffered from atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque in his arteries, TMZ said.

The actor made movie history as mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” (1990).

Liotta, who broke out as an actor in the 1986 film “Something Wild” and played Shoeless Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams” (1989), had some roles debut posthumously, with more to come.

He starred with Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser in Dennis Lehane’s Golden Globe-nominated Apple TV+ limited series “Black Bird,” released in July. The series is based on the true story of James “Jimmy” Keene (Egerton), a man in prison who takes an offer from a federal prosecutor to get friendly with an alleged serial killer with the hope that he can get him to confess to murders. Liotta plays Keene’s father, James “Big Jim” Keene.

Liotta also played a drug kingpin villain in the true story-based horror comedy “Cocaine Bear,” directed by Elizabeth Banks and released in February (the film was dedicated to Liotta).

The actor was honored in February with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Banks and Egerton paid tribute to Liotta at the ceremony, as did the actor’s daughter, Karsen Liotta, who attended with Liotta’s fiance, Jacy Nittolo.

Liotta will appear alongside Charlie Day in the film comedy “Fool’s Paradise,” directed by Day, which will be released in theaters May 12.

“Dangerous Waters,” in which Liotta stars with Saffron Burrows, Odeya Rush and Eric Dane, is in post-production.

Another of Liotta’s posthumous film appearances will be in “April 29, 1992,” a movie set in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict.
