Actor-comedian Paul Rodriguez‘s finest buddy died in his L.A.-area house Thursday … and cops are saying the dying seems pure, with nothing nefarious suspected at this level.
We spoke with Paul … who tells us his longtime buddy Donald Serrato had simply offered his home in Torrance and was transferring to Montana — however, earlier than he moved, he wanted a spot to remain for a number of days.
PR gave his buddy a spot to remain, and — this morning — he left round 6 AM to go work on a film. He known as Serrato round midday to see if he needed to seize lunch, however acquired no response.
Since he could not get in contact with Donald, Paul known as his girlfriend, who went to test on him … and located him in mattress, turned fully blue.
Paul says Donald’s GF and her buddy known as 911, they usually tried to carry out CPR on him with the assistance of the operator … however, he was already lifeless.
Rodriguez says Serrato was a heavy drinker and smoker who was coping with the lack of a pair members of the family … all of which, Rodriguez believes might have performed a job in his dying.
Regulation enforcement sources affirm … they responded to a name a few man not respiratory simply after 12:30 PM, arriving at Rodriguez’s house shortly after. Serrato was pronounced lifeless on the scene.
We’re instructed there is no such thing as a foul play or medication suspected … and, this seems to be a pure dying.
Paul himself has had an extended profession within the movie trade … showing in massive tasks like Clint Eastwood‘s “Blood Work,” “The Golden Girls,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Sandy Wexler,” “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” “King of the Hill,” “Grand Slam” and extra. Maybe his most credit score — he is the daddy of famed skateboarder Paul “P-Rod” Rodriguez Jr.
Serrato was 50.
