The cause of death for Liuzzo has not been disclosed yet. However, Miami police officer Michael Vega mentioned to The Sun that the investigation is leaning towards an overdose as the possible cause. The inquiry into Liuzzo's death is still ongoing. According to Vega, the police entered the room at 3:22 p.m. ET and Liuzzo was pronounced dead at 3:34 p.m.
Beatrice has not provided any comments on Liuzzo's passing.
Beatrice, now 35, is the daughter of Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. In 2005, when she was 17 and he was 24, Beatrice started dating Liuzzo. Despite the age gap, Ferguson expressed support for their relationship. She mentioned that Beatrice, a sensible girl about to turn 18, had many friends, including Paolo, in a public statement.

While Beatrice is excelling in motherhood, the royal family is going through tough times. In January, Beatrice's mother, the Duchess of York, shared that she had overcome breast cancer but was later diagnosed with malignant melanoma after having some moles removed for testing. Princess Kate Middleton and King Charles III are also fighting their own battles with cancer.
