Hollywood is mourning a beloved stunt man.
Antonio "Tony" McFarr, a stunt double who often worked Chris Pratt, was found dead in his Orlando, Fla., home on May 13, Orange County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to E! News. He was 47.
His cause of death has not yet been released, the medical examiner's office told E! that a toxicology exam has taken place and the results are still pending.
Tony's mother Donna has also spoken out about his passing, telling TMZ that it was "unexpected and shocking," further noting that her son was "active and healthy."
The stunt performer worked on 60 projects throughout his career, which began in 2011 with the crime series Bones, and most notably stood in for Chris on several movies including Jurassic World and its sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as well as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Two and Passengers. Over the years the Parks & Recreation alum gushed over their partnership.
"Been working with Tony since Jurassic World" Chris wrote in an Instagram post following production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Two in 2016. "Love you buddy! Happy wrap!"
In addition to his collaborations with Chris, Tony also worked on popular box office hits including Ant Man & The Wasp, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two, Pitch Perfect 3, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
In addition to his stunt work, Tony was also a restaurateur and studied at Florida State University, and earned an MBA from Louisiana State University, according to his LinkedIn. He also owned three separate restaurants throughout his career, including Reel Bowls—an Orlando poké bar which opened in February. According to social media for another one of his restaurants, The Fit Kitchen in Atlanta, Ga., he was inspired to start a restaurant after trying poke in Hawaii while shooting the Jurassic World films.
