<P> The priest in the video, an Italian man named Gianantonio, was a friend of Rose . Unbeknownst to the band, the church used for the interior shots was where the priest had performed some of his last services, eight years prior to the shooting of the video . </P> <P> The music videos for "November Rain", "Don't Cry" and "Estranged" form an unofficial trilogy of sorts . While never specifically confirmed by the band, Rose and Del James have made statements supporting this idea . The similarity in production, style and plots can be considered evidence of this intent . </P> <P> As stated at the end of the video, "November Rain" is based on the short story "Without You" by Del James, available in his 1995 book The Language of Fear . The story concerns a rock star grieving over the death of his on - and - off - again girlfriend, who had committed suicide (inspired by Rose's troubled relationship with Erin Everly). </P> <P> While much speculation exists about how Seymour's character in the video died, the relationship between the video clip and James' short story strongly suggests that she kills herself . She appears looking visibly troubled during one shot of the wedding and during the funeral sequence, a mirror is visible, covering over half her face, a technique used by funeral homes to allow victims of head trauma to have the appearance of a full face in the event of an open casket funeral . </P>
