A voice actor for Netflix and film performer tragically lost his life after falling from the roof of his residence while inspecting ongoing renovations.

Tony Germano had recently returned to live in his childhood home, having moved back just a few weeks prior.

The 55-year-old ascended to the roof on Wednesday morning to check on the work being done when he accidentally slipped and fell.

His passing was officially announced soon thereafter.

Tony lived by himself and did not have any children.

The night before the accident in São Paulo, Brazil, he had spent time with his sister and, despite being busy with the renovations, seemed well and excited about the new chapter.

His artistic career spanned 30 years.

He was best known for his theatre work, performing in The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Jekyll & Hyde, Fiddler on the Roof, and other productions.
