Rita Hayworth's grandson found dead in an apparent suicide, police say
(CBS/AP) - Andrew Embiricos, the 25-year-old grandson of the late screen actress Rita Hayworth, was found dead with a bag over his head in his New York City apartment, in an apparent suicide, according to police.
Embiricos' body was discovered in his Manhattan apartment Sunday night by a close friend who went to check on him after he missed several appointments, reports the New York Daily News.
Police pronounced him 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.
The 25-year-old was a graduate of Fordham University with a degree in psychology, according to his Linkedin profile. The site also listed that he was currently working in sales for Virgin Atlantic.
Hayworth, his grandmother, was a legendary beauty who rose to fame in the 1940s and '50s in movies such as "Cover Girl" and "Gilda." She died in 1987 of Alzheimer's disease at age 68.
