Goodfellas star Ray Liotta holds hands with fiancée in final pictures before his death

Goodfellas actor Ray Liotta was seen holding hands with his fiancée in heartbreaking final pictures of him.

The actor died in his sleep at the age of 67 while he was in the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting for the upcoming movie, Dangerous Waters.

Earlier this month, the late actor was seen in good spirits as he held hands with fiancée Jacy Nittolo, 46, to who he got engaged in 2020.

In the photos, Ray wore a simple black t-shirt with black trousers. He also had a coat wrapped around his waist.

Jacy and the actor were pictured in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles after enjoying an early dinner at an Italian restaurant called Spruzzo.
