Diaz Shocked by Dad's Sudden Death at 58

Posted Apr 16, 08 12:04 PM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Cameron Diaz's father Emilio died suddenly from pneumonia yesterday, according to TMZ. The bubbly actress found his death "shocking" since her 58-year-old father, who had a bit part in his daughter's hit There's Something About Mary, was reportedly in "terrific health" until he developed a bad case of the flu. 

Emilio Diaz, whose parents were both Cuban exiles, lived in Seal Beach, Fla., and worked as a foreman for an oil company. Production was shut down on Diaz's current film, My Sister's Keeper.
