Reports confirm that the body of Michele Savoia, a famous celebrity fashion designer, was found floating dead in the Hudson River on Sunday (February 16). Law officials do not expect any foul play. Savoia was 55-years-old.

According to TMZ, Savoia was last seen alive at Paris Hilton's birthday party. The Hollywood starlet celebrated her 33rd birthday at NYC's infamous Marquee nightclub on Wednesday evening. Savoia disappeared around 4 a.m. on Thursday morning after he left the party.

His lifeless body was eventually found at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in the water near his house boat. Savoia docked his cruiser at Pier 59 on Manhattan's West Side.

Savoia ran the prestigious House of Savoia fashion line and clothed several big-name celebrities including Robert DeNiro and Ricky Martin.

Details surrounding his sudden death still remain a mystery, but police confirm they will conduct an autopsy to determine his official cause of death.

According to his official Facebook page, Savoia hailed from Hoboken, NJ and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in the 1970s.

Back in 2011, Fashion Week Daily deemed Savoia a "tattooed, needle-wielding daredevil."

Stay tuned as more details develop and as stars and fans react to this tragic news. RIP, Michele Savoia.
