from www.spinner.com – Frank Sinatra’s grandson, Frank Sinatra III, is reportedly recovering from a suicide attempt, TMZ reports. The 32-year-old son of Frank Sinatra Jr. was taken to the Downey Regional Medical Center’s emergency room after allegedly overdosing on pills.
According to sources, Sinatra — who has never entered the limelight like many in his family — was conscious when he was found. People reports that a woman identifying herself as Sinatra’s aunt wouldn’t confirm the details about the pills or suicide attempt, but said his condition is improving.
“He’s doing OK,” “Aunt Dorothy” told the magazine. “He had a big setback. Let’s just say it’s very similar to what his grandfather went through with Ava Gardner. He’s been having a very tough time. He’s doing better now. We think he’ll pull through.”
The eldest Frank Sinatra [pictured] and Gardner had a tumultuous relationship that resulted in Ol’ Blue Eyes divorcing his wife Nancy in 1951.
