Ennio Morricone, Oscar-winning film composer, dies at 91
He died at dawn in a Rome hospital after falling and breaking his leg, his lawyer, Giorgio Assumma, said.
Morricone is best known internationally as the composer behind the instantly recognizable melodies from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West."
The Italian composer was famous for the tension-filled scores of spaghetti Westerns, and won an Academy Award for his soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" in 2016, after five previous nominations and an Honorary Award in 2007 that recognized his lifetime's achievement.
