Grandson of Rita Hayworth Found Dead In NYC Home

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rita Hayworth’s grandson has been found dead in an apparent suicide in New York City.

Police say 25-year-old Andrew Embiricos was discovered in his Manhattan apartment Sunday night with a bag over his head by a close friend who came to check up on him. Embiricos was pronounced dead at the scene. No foul play is suspected in his death.

A spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office says the cause of his death is pending autopsy results.

Embiricos was the son of the late actress’ daughter Yasmin Aga Khan, a philanthropist known for publicizing the plight of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The 25-year-old was a graduate of Fordham University with a degree in psychology, according to his Linkedin profile. The site also listed that he was currently working in sales for Virgin Atlantic.

Rita Hayworth was a legendary beauty who rose to fame in the 1940s and ’50s in movies such as “Cover Girl” and “Gilda.” She died in 1987 of Alzheimer’s disease at age 68.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
