He also wrote a book, Home Sense: Simple Solutions to Enhance Where and How You Live, in 2007.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are heartbroken at the tragic loss of our beloved Eduardo Xol,\u201d the actor\u2019s family said in a statement provided to EW. \u201cAs his family, we know that his kindness has touched the lives of so many. We ask for that kindness returned now allowing our privacy to be respected as we process our grief.\u201d<\/p>\n
They continued, \u201cIn lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Eduardo\u2019s name to the Lupus Foundation of America as he spent so much of his life in the service of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
