Frank Sinatra Jr. died of cardiac arrest on Wednesday at the Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Florida at the age of 72, the AP reports.

His death was announced by his family members, who revealed that his cause of death was a cardiac arrest he suffered during a tour in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Wednesday.

Sinatra Jr., like his famous father, was a Jersey boy, born in Jersey City, N.J., in 1944. He was returned safely after two days when his family paid 240,000 dollars for his release.

The son of the legendary singer died unexpectedly from a heart attack while on tour in Florida.

Sinatra Jr. followed in his father's footsteps and began performing in clubs as a teen.
