According to Deadline, the actor died in his sleep in the Dominican Republic where he was filming Dangerous Waters. No foul play is suspected.

Lorraine Bracco, who played Ray’s on-screen wife Karen, said she was “utterly shattered to hear this terrible news about my Ray”.
She tweeted: “I can be anywhere in the world and people will come up and tell me their favourite movie is Goodfellas. Then they always ask what was the best part of making that movie. My response has always been the same…Ray Liotta.”
