Well this is certainly tragic news.
Actor, writer, director, and producer Sage Stallone, son of action star Sylvester Stallone, was found dead last Friday in his Studio City home just a week before he was to be married. He was 36 years old.
Best known for his role as Rocky Jr. in Rocky V, Stallone had recently had several teeth pulled and was treating the pain with prescription Vicodin. The police found several bottles of the prescription medication in his home.
At this time the death is being ruled an accidental overdose, although Sylvester Stallone has hired a private investigator to determine if his son's death was caused by foul play.
Although Sage Stallone only acted in a few films, he also co-founded Grindhouse Rereleasing, an LA company dedicated to the restoration and preservation of exploitation films. Stallone also directed several short films including the film Vic which won the 2006 Boston Film Festival "Best New Filmmaker Award."
This is truly a senseless death and it is my sincere hope that this was an accidental drug overdose and nothing more. My heart goes out to Sylvester Stallone and the rest of his family. Sage Stallone is survived by his father Sylvester, his mother Sasha, his grandmother Jackie, his brother Seargeoh, and half sisters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.
