that's all the time we have. have a great weekend. "around the world" is next. 36 hours after james gaddolfini passed way we know the cause of death and who called for help. there it is. >> there it is. a house carried away by water hitting a bridge. flooding forcing 75,000 canadians to evacuate. one says everything is destroyed. an amazing catch by a group of mail carriers. they happened to be in the right place at the right time.

i'm suzanne malveaux. >> i'm michael holmes. >> we know what killed james gandolfini. >> doctors performed an autopsy within hours of his death. they did release the official results. dan rivers is in rome now. we are learning the details about the minutes leading up to when he was found. >> reporter: it's just a really grim story. we now know he did die from massive heart attack. the technical term was a myocardial arrest. it was his 13-year-old son michael who raised the alarm and concerned when his father into the bathroom and took a long

time. they had to break the door down and saw he was collapsed. they called the ambulance and emergency doctors came and tried to perform cpr. that continued on the way into hospital. he arrived at 10:40 at night. he was in cardiac arrest when he arrived. they continued for 40 minutes after his arrival. they did everything they could but they couldn't save him. there's no sign of any suspicious evidence. no evidence of substance abuse of alcohol or foul play. it's one of those awful tragedies to take someone so young, only 51 years old and not only to leave a 13-year-old son but an 8-month-old daughter. >> there were people who were speaking to reporters about how soon the body would be able to be returned to the family and back to the united states. have they made those arrangements. >> they're in the process of

making it. i'm sure we're all aware that it can be trying at times. a family friend told the press conference about how they are trying to do everything to get the body back quickly. >> we're all devastated bid this loss. james was a devoted husband and a loving father of two children and a brother and cousin you could always count on. we thank you for giving us the privacy that you have given us at this difficult time. >> reporter: we're told that they will try to hold a funeral in new york thursday, friday, the latest saturday they're saying. the film festival that he was due to receive an award will go ahead in sicily although it's

turned from a celebration of this great a actor's work into a tribute into a man who will be sorely missed. >> all right. thanks so much. stocks struggling to rebound. this is after the worse one day sell off of the year. it's quite amazing to watch. >> it just got worse and worse. the new york stock exchange. what's going on? >> we have a lot of volatility in the marketplace. there's a bit of increased volume because what they had in futures contracts that are expiring today. that adds to a lot of hedge fund players. major investors coming into the marketplace and selling off and buying back those contracts. you're seeing this kind of trade up 30 point, down 40 points. that's pretty much what's going to happen all day long. i spoke to one broker and she said after yesterday's 353 point

loss after the last two days which is about 550 point loss this is like the exhale after the marathon race. you have to take a bit of a check, review the situation, find out if you need new sneakers, how do your legs feel and see how you'll move forward. i thought that was a great analogy. how we have to discover what the federal reserve is intending to do. we can't predict it. we can only sort of debate it. also we don't have an economic fundamentals. it's a friday, in the summer, people are tired. there's not going to be a lot of activi activity. you'll see this back and forth all day long. >> we both like your analogy being runners. this one with a bum knee though. why do you think investors are feeling better? >> the truth is if you're going to see the federal reserve start to pull back from that stimulus in the economy, that means that things are looking better. i'm not saying that that's what the situation is but the truth is that means the economy really

is in a steady recovery. that's a good thing. that means people are finding jobs. that means they feel more comfortable about buying large ticket items whether it be car or a new refrigerator. those are really very good things. it also means this market is going to start trading on fundamentals again. that's really very comforting for traders. admittedly they were addicted to the punch bowl that's been there but there are plenty people out there that say it's a good thing to go back to the fundamentals. >> all right. it's good news. thank you. appreciate it. >> that will fix it. we have to turn to canada. major emergency unfolding in the province of alberta. there's been flooding there. 75,000 people driven from their homes in the major city of calgary. >> that city has not seen anything like this before. the situation so serious that

the canadian military has been called out to help the rescuers. >> reporter: the sheer speed and strength of the water took many my surprise leaving them in awe of the destruction. >> there it is. >> reporter: others shot and watched as an entire home is swept down river and under a bridge. >> there's a building. no idea where it came from. somewhere up there. >> reporter: there was so much more devastation. rivers swollen to levels not seen in a generation. more than 100 peop,000 people h been evacuated. their homes ravaged by rain and flooding and then those rising raging rivers. for a time rescues were routine as hundreds of people saw the water rise several feet within just a few hours. >> like everything is destroyed

there. our homes, everything. >> reporter: downtown calgary was all but abandoned leaving the waters to creep upwards as city officials anxiously watched dams and bridges. >> i saw water levels that were incredibly high. i saw areas of the city that were deeply under water. things i've never seen before, but knock on wood, we haven't had any injury or loss of life. >> reporter: yet there are many anxious hours ahead. rain is in the forecast all weekend long and even when the waters crest water levels would remain high for days to come. >> paula newton join us us us. what's the situation now, more rain? >> reporter: even people watching now. that's the problem.

that's how this whole thing started. torrential rain in places where they don't get that much especially in june and now the forecast. today, tomorrow into sunday more and more rain. those waters are creeping up. a lot of those rivers have crested. you're still looking at major centers that may need more evacuations. they are talking about keeping an eye on hospitals in places like alberta to make sure those that are vulnerable don't have to be evacuate d. >> what are some of the places that they are able to get help? >> reporter: after a while they realized they put people in one evacuation center, the rivers would change direction and that place would become as a rulerable. they have done all they can. the military is at the ready to do more air rescues if that help is needed to get people far away

from that flood zone. these are areas that don't normally flood this way at this time of year. they are just trying to do all they can. as you heard the mayor said making sure everyone stays safe and after that, what a mess. >> thank you so much. look at those pictures and it's incredible. it switches over in one direction one time. you don't even know where to go. >> just terrifying. edward snowden, where is he now? really anyone's guess. this is marking two weeks since the bomb shell leek about government programs. it's believed he is still laying low. >> today is snowden's 30th birthday and we learned a man close to the wikileaks group is ready to give him something of a present. a private plane and passage to

iceland and possible save haven. >> reporter: could one of these business jets be edward snowden's ticket to cheap u.s. justice? on the fringes of hong kong's sprawling airport this tiny terminal is the latest focus in snowden's focus to avoid extradition. he says he has plans in place to charter plan to fly snowden to iceland if the government there agrees. >> we want to make sure that if he starts to transport the guy that he will be safe when he lands. he will not be extradited to u.s. >> hong kong has a strong tradition of free speech. >> reporter: despite picking hong kong to get his message out

he's been on the record saying his next move should be asylum in iceland because of its internet officials. officials tell us they have no formal asylum request and said he needs to be in iceland to get asylum. if he does board a flight he could be in iceland in a little over 12 hours. there's no guarantees he would make it to the gates here. so far he's a free man. the united states is not made a surrender or extradition request to trigger an arrest warrant but that could change in a heartbeat. >> it's possible in some indications where there's urgency a provisional arrest warrant might be issued and it's for the law enforcement in hong kong to enforce it. >> reporter: he could get no warning about his arrest. >> it's possible a provisional arrest warnts could be issued and no one would know until they

knocked on his door to take him into custody? >> that's right and even before the u.s. and hong kong authorities were to say it's been made. >> reporter: on his 30th birthday, a sobering prospect. his future in the hand of others. nick robinson, cnn, hong kong. here is more of what we're working on this hour for "around the world." breathtaking video out of china. a group of mail workers save a 2-year-old girl. we'll tell you how she fall out of a window. angelina jolie back in action in our role. since its lunchtime on the east coast.
