How Did Angelo Die On �Switched at Birth�?

Today marks the 100th episode of Freeform’s Switched at Birth.

During season three, the series said goodbye to Angelo Sorrento, Daphne and Bay’s father, with an emotional episode.

How did Angelo die? Angelo was put on life support after a horrific car accident and died from his injuries over the course of two episodes.

At the time, Gilles Marini said that it was a good thing to see Angelo pass away, which forced Bay (Vanessa Marano), Regina (Constance Marie) and Daphne (Katie Leclerc) to head in new directions.

“For so many different reasons and levels, [I was satisfied,” he told THR. “The way Angelo passed is similar to the way my brother-in-law passed when he was 29 years old.

“For me, it was the family connection that I lived with, so it was important for me to portray that. And more important than everything else, the fact that the family decided to donate his organs.”

Gilles added that it was a tough thing for his mother to watch.

“My mom refused to watch it because it was too real for her.”

Tune into the 100th episode later tonight @ 8PM ET/PT on Freeform.
