Lofranco passed away in British Columbia, Canada, on Tuesday, November 18. His brother, Santino, publicly announced his death on Instagram two days subsequent to the event.
"For the legendary @roccowinning. My sibling," Santino posted next to images of himself and Lofranco. "Your existence was one many could only imagine. You had a profound impact on individuals, and now you rest with the divine. I will forever cherish and long for you, Bear. Rest in peace. October 18, 1992 – November 18, 2025."
The British Columbia Coroners Service verified on Friday, November 21, that an inquiry into Lofranco's demise is underway, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Nevertheless, the specific reason for his death remains undisclosed.
Lofranco first appeared onscreen as Conrad Hartman in the 2013 romantic comedy At Middleton. His significant career breakthrough occurred the following year when he portrayed ex-convict James Burn in the biographical film Jamesy Boy.
"I chose to pursue acting at the age of 17," Lofranco shared with Interview magazine in 2014. "I consistently enjoyed humor, striving to entertain others and commanding the spotlight. It seems I had been performing my entire life. I eventually recognized my actions and how they led to difficulties. I attended acting workshops during the summer. Subsequently, I completed a year of conservatory training at the New York Film Academy, which led to my role in Jamesy Boy."
He further explained, "My father preferred for me not to be an actor; his aspiration was for me to become a hockey player and then a legal professional. That path did not materialize."
Following Jamesy Boy, Lofranco featured in Angelina Jolie's wartime film Unbroken and was seen in the 2015 short movie Home. His credits also include 2015's Dixieland and 2016's King Cobra.
