Spanish actress Penelope Cruz is mourning the loss of her father following his death at the age of 62.
Eduardo Cruz passed away at his home in Spain after suffering a heart attack, and the sad news was confirmed to the country's HOLA! Magazine on Thursday (18Jun15) by his brother-in-law.
He had reportedly struggled with heart problems in recent years,
and was hospitalised several times as he battled his condition.

singer Eduardo, Jr. - from his marriage to Encarna Sanchez. He wed
his second wife, Carmen, in 2014 and they have a three-year-old
daughter named Salma.
Cruz, who is married to actor Javier Bardem, is yet to publicly
comment on the news.
