He committed suicide after losing most of his fortune making a film about the life of Marco Polo. He shot himself in the chest outside the front door of the St Tropez house of production assistant Isabelle Pons, who had recently ended a two-year affair with Levy. Levy was survived by a wife and fifteen-year-old son.
