Action star Sylvester Stallone’s son Sage was found dead in his
apartment and now police officials believe an accidental overdose is
what killed him.
Sage was planning to be married as soon as next weekend according to a close family friend.
TMZ says the
upcoming nuptials and activity on the budding filmmaker’s Facebook page
in the hours leading up to his death raise questions about whether he
intended to kill himself, and how long he was dead before he was
discovered.
Sage had posted photos on Facebook just 17 hours before the housekeeper made a panicked 911 call to authorities.
Police officials believe an accidental overdose killed him. There was
no suicide note left at the scene, but Los Angeles County Assistant
Chief Coroner Ed Winter said prescription pill bottles were found in the
room.
The L.A. county coroner’s office completed its autopsy on Sage Stallone on Sunday. Results are due back in four to six weeks.
Sage was the first of two sons Stallone had with his first wife, Sasha Czack. Sage made his acting debut in 1990's Rocky V and also appeared with his father in 1996’s Daylight.
Sylvester Stallone was at Comic-Con in San Diego promoting his new film The Expendables 2 when he heard the news, and is reportedly devastated, saying he wants "the speculation and questionable reporting" to stop.
Stallone told TMZ:
"When a parent loses a child there is no greater pain. Therefore I am imploring people to respect my talented son's memory and feel compassion for his loving mother Sasha."
Sly goes on to say:
"This agonizing loss will be felt for the rest of our lives...Sage was our first child and the center of our universe and I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory and soul left in peace."
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Stallone family during this time.
