Diego Borella, who worked as an assistant director on Netflix\u2019s Emily in Paris<\/a>, reportedly died while working on the show\u2019s fifth season in Italy. He was 47. The film and television community is mourning the sudden loss.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Diego Borella collapsed around 7:00 pm on Friday, August 22, during preparations for a final scene at the Hotel Danieli in Venice. Medical staff on set tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, claimed Italian outlets La Repubblica, Il Messaggero, and Corriere della Sera.<\/p>\n

While the exact reason behind Diego Borella\u2019s death hasn\u2019t been revealed yet, a local doctor later confirmed that the assistant director most likely suffered a sudden heart attack, according to La Repubblica. Paramedics were called on the sets, however, Borella couldn\u2019t be saved.<\/p>\n

The emergency call was later confirmed by Venice health service. \u201cOur ambulance arrived at 18.42 (on Thursday evening). Medics made attempts to resuscitate him. But in the end, all efforts proved fruitless. At around 19.30, he was pronounced deceased,” officials said, The Independent reported.<\/p>\n

The outlet stated that filming was scheduled to conclude on Monday, August 25, with Borella supervising the final scene. However, production has now come to a halt owing to the on-set tragedy. The Netflix show\u2019s team has yet to issue an official statement on Diego Borella\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n

Who was Diego Borella?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Borella was a well-known Venetian filmmaker who had trained in Rome, London, and New York. Beyond his work in cinema, he also explored visual arts and literature, La Repubblica noted. In recent weeks, he had been in Italy actively working on the show\u2019s new season.<\/p>\n

Just days before his passing, series lead Lily Collins posted behind-the-scenes glimpses from the Italy shoot, capturing the cast and crew\u2019s enthusiasm for the upcoming season. She also announced the release date of the fifth season \u2013 December 18.<\/p>\n
