New heartbreak for Liz Hurley, 57, as third former partner dies: Actor Tom Sizemore, 61, suffers a fatal brain aneurysm a year after her ex-fiancé Shane Warne died of a heart attack aged 52 – while her son’s father Damian lost his life to suicide in 2020
Liz Hurley was last night trying to come to terms with the loss of a third former lover following the untimely death of Hollywood actor Tom Sizemore.
Sizemore, 61, died of a brain aneurysm and it will be a triple blow to Mrs Hurley, 57, who has now suffered the deaths of three lovers in three years.
Film producer Steve Bing, 55, father of her son Damian, 20, died in 2020 after falling 27 stories from the roof of a luxury apartment block.
An inquest ruled it was a suicide, and it was later revealed that he had fought his billionaire father over wanting to leave money to Damian, whom he reportedly never met.
Last year, Australian cricketer Shane Warne, to whom the Austin Powers actress was engaged, died of a heart attack at the age of 52.

The couple started dating in 2010 after she split from her husband Arun Nayar and planned to get married. They split in 2013 but remained good friends.
Sizemore is best known for his roles in Saving Private Ryan and Natural Born Killers.
The troubled star, who battled drug and alcohol addictions, once told The Mail on Sunday he was “hopelessly in love” with Ms Hurley when they met while she was living in Los Angeles in the mid-1990s.
He said: “She was my great regret. I was very much in love with her, hopelessly. But my demons got in the way. I wasn’t able to have a real relationship. It’s one of the biggest regrets of my life that I didn’t treat Liz better. She has never spoken publicly about Sizemore. But speaking of Warne and Bing, she said: “Losing Shane was terrible. To be honest I always thought he would call and it would turn out to be a great Aussie joke.
“Losing Stephen was something completely different. We were estranged for so long but made amends in the end and it looked like a bright future was opening up.’

Sizemore became a star in the 1990s playing tough guys in hits like Heat with Robert De Niro, who paid for him to go to rehab.
Other films include Born On The Fourth Of July, True Romance and Pearl Harbor. He was praised for his role in 2001’s Black Hawk Down, but his heroin and cocaine habits marred his career.
In his memoir By Some Miracle I Made It Out Of There, Detroit native Sizemore wrote: “I came from a poor background and made it big. I had the multi-million dollar house, the Porsche, the restaurant I owned with Robert De Niro. Then I lost everything.” In 2003, he was found guilty of hitting his girlfriend, Hollywood woman Heidi Fleiss, and in 2007 he spent two years in prison for breaking probation on drug-related charges.
He is survived by 17-year-old twin sons Jayden and Jagger. He had an aneurysm at his LA home on February 18 and died Friday after his life support was turned off.
