Sylvester Stallone Hires Investigator to Look Into Son's Death
There were no signs of foul play or trauma in the death of Sylvester Stallone's 36-year-old son, an official has announced.
Sage Moonblood Stallone was found dead in his Los Angeles home, leaving his action hero father grief-stricken as authorities investigate the cause of his death.
He was found on Friday afternoon by a housekeeper at his home on Mullholland Drive in the Studio City area of LA.
Police officers were called, and they confirmed he was dead. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said no suicide note had been found.
Prescription bottles were recovered in the investigation, but Winter could not say what kind or how many, or whether they had a role in his death.
Winter said a post-mortem would be performed in the next few days and investigators would look into Sage Stallone's medical history.
But he said a cause of death was likely to take several weeks while toxicology tests were performed.
George Braunstein, a lawyer who has represented Sage for 15 years, said friends and acquaintances had become concerned because they had not heard from Sage in the past day.
Sylvester Stallone appeared on Thursday at Comic-Con, the San Diego pop culture festival, to promote his upcoming film Expendables 2 with friend and co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It was not immediately clear whether the 66-year-old had remained at the convention or had returned to Los Angeles after hearing of his son's death.
Sage Moonblood was the oldest of Stallone's children and the first of two sons he had with his first wife Sasha Czack.
"Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man, his loss will be felt forever," said publicist Michelle Bega.
"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son. His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother."
Sage made his acting debut in 1990's Rocky V and also appeared with his father in the 1996 film Daylight.
The same year he teamed up with film editor Bob Murawski to co-found Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to preserving and promoting the B-movies and exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s.
"He was very respectful of all the actors in all the movies," Braunstein said. "You couldn't mention a movie that he didn't know everything about."
Sage Stallone also directed the 2006 short film Vic, which screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival.
Braunstein said Sage had been planning on getting married, and received frequent requests to work on films.
"He was a full of life filmmaker with his whole future ahead of him," Braunstein said. "He was just very up and enthusiastic and positive."
He said he thought the death "was probably some sort of accident".
Braunstein said Sage greatly admired his father, but had been working hard to make his own name in the film industry.
"He was very proud of his father and proud to be his father's son," he added.
