Frank Tartaglia, a well-known filmmaker from South Philadelphia, recently passed away at the age of 45. The announcement follows the showing of his most recent photo at the Philadelphia Film Festival. On November 24, 2022, the Pennsylvania Burial Company announced his death, and his followers expressed their grief. He died in his sleep, despite the fact that the cause of death was not disclosed. His relatives reported that he was in great shape and that he was working on his next film.

Tartaglia’s enthusiasm, according to Peter Pelullo, co-owner of Ric Rac, which was also co-owned by Tartaglia, was unparalleled. James Doolittle, a film producer, respected him and commented:

“He was a Dickens character from South Philly, full of funny self-awareness and a never-ending gift for amplifying the creative spark of hundreds of dreamers who wandered in and out of Connie’s Ric Rac over the years.”

Joseph, Frank’s brother, died of brain cancer in 2013. He was then 44 years old.

Frank Tartaglia’s death sparked a new discussion about the Covid-19 vaccination.

Although Frank Tartaglia died in his sleep, his death caused public alarm about the possible side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. The lack of a precise reason revealed the problem. After Tartaglia died abruptly, many were suspicious. Frank’s family acknowledged that he was healthy, which raised concerns among netizens, the majority of whom questioned the potential adverse effects of the vaccine. Tartaglia’s family, on the other hand, has yet to issue a comment on the subject and additional information is still expected.
