Sage Stallone, Son of Sylvester, Dies of Possible Drug Overdose [UPDATED]
Sylvester Stallone's son Sage died last night of an apparent overdose on pills. While his death was initially thought to be a suicide, law enforcement now says there is no evidence that it was intentional. He was 36.
Sage Stallone had two notable acting gigs — both alongside his father — in Rocky V (as Rocky's son) and in Daylight. Sage, pictured above at Daylight's 1996 premiere, also dabbled in producing.
Sylvester Stallone's rep Michelle Bega gave TMZ the following statement—
Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son Sage Stallone. His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha. Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man. His loss will be felt forever.
An autopsy will be held at some point within the next 48 hours.
UPDATE:
TMZ reports that Sage Stallone was dead for at least three days, and possibly as long as a week. Apparently no one had spoken to him since last Friday.
