Philly filmmaker dies 'suddenly in his sleep' at age 45 on Thanksgiving; Frank Tartaglia had been in 'good health,' family says

Frank Tartaglia, a filmmaker and beloved fixture in the south Philadelphia arts scene, died suddenly last week, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Here's how writer Mike Newall described Tartaglia's passing:

On Thanksgiving Day, just weeks after his first major film headlined the Philadelphia Festival to positive reviews, Frank Tartaglia died suddenly in his sleep at his family home in South Philadelphia. He was 45. The family said they did not yet know the cause of death. Family members said they were shocked — and that he had been in good health and excited about the success of his film. Who was Tartaglia?

Tartaglia was described as a "writer, filmmaker, comedian, painter, singer, and arts enthusiast, who first found show business success as a childhood performer," the Inquirer said, adding that he was "celebrated as much for his endless originality, sweet nature, and outgoing personality as for his openness about the struggles of living a creative life, and his unflagging encouragement for those who chose the same path."

Tartaglia's brother Joseph died in 2013 at the age of 44 after a six-month bout with an aggressive form of brain cancer, the paper added.

“That spirit, that energy, the color they brought to the entire neighborhood — it’s irreplaceable,” Peter Pelullo, co-owner of Connie's Ric Rac club with the Tartaglia brothers, told the Inquirer. “There is never going to be another Frankie — his whole spirit was creative.” . . . .

Never has the world seen so many mysterious deaths from nothing.

Yes ... I pray the Lord my Soul to take. Prayed this as a little kid, think about it as an adult. It could happen to anyone, but it's happening with more frequency, 'suddenly & unexpectedly', to age-inappropriate people.

When I lay me down at night
Knowing we must pay
Thoughts occur that this night might
Stay yesterday

Last year, a woman called me a moron when she overheard me saying I was not going to get the shots. Around the same time, I heard that one of my neighbors was threatening to smash people’s faces in if he finds out they are refusing the shots.

Lately, I haven’t heard any talk like that. The fact that the “vaccines” obviously don’t work seems to have knocked them off their high horses.

All I hear now is the self-congratulatory line “Thank God I got the vaccines - it could have been so much worse!” so at least they don’t seem to be attacking unvaxxed people anymore.

Even if it becomes clear that these fake vaccines caused harm - I doubt we will ever get an apology from them, or an admission that they were the morons - not us.

It will be a milder form of death.

Frank Tartaglia, a filmmaker...

I suppose he was doing what Kodak discontinued.

Same here. I saw one estimate that only 30% are unvaxxed.

Never has the world seen so many mysterious deaths from nothing.

According to the CDC, our yearly deaths in the US went from around 2.8M for 4 years (2016-2019) to 3.3M in 2020, 2021. But only 350K of that .5M jump is due to Covid. The other 150K are... just... extra. Apparently heart disease is way up. (And my brain just keeps going "Clots!! Clots!!")

Tartaglia was my Mom’s Maiden name. Not sure I have ever seen that name in print before. The “g” is silent, at least that was how her family pronounced it. Her father came from Italy in the early 1900’s as a youngster and eventually settled in L.A. / Hollywood area. Along with a couple of Brothers he opened a Tailoring shop and had a number of famous Actors as clients in the 1940’s - 50’s

I would be shocked if it was that high.
