LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Sylvester
Stallone was described as
"devastated" Friday after his
36-year-old son Sage, who is
also an actor, was found
dead.
Sage Moonblood Stallone,
who appeared in the 1990s
as Rocky Balboa Jr, the son of
his father's title character,
was found dead at his
Hollywood home, media
reports said.
"Sylvester Stallone is
devastated and grief-stricken
over the sudden loss of his
son, Sage Stallone .. His loss
will be felt forever," said a
statement issued by his
publicist, Michelle Bega.
"His compassion and
thoughts are with Sage's
mother, Sasha," the
statement added, referring
to the "Rocky" star's first
wife. "Sage was a very
talented and wonderful
young man."
The Hollywood A-lister, who
is currently promoting his
latest movie "Expendables 2,"
was a "wreck," celebrity
news website TMZ reported,
adding that paramedics
were called but Sage was
pronounced dead at the
scene.
TMZ cited unidentified
sources as saying that he
had died of an overdose of
pills, adding that authorities
were trying to establish
whether the death was
intentional or accidental.
Sage Stallone's attorney
George Braunstein said the
young actor was not known
to be depressed.
"I got a terrible call a few
hours ago … when the
housekeeper opened the
door and they found what
had happened," he told NBC
4 television, adding: "I'm
personally devastated. It's
just a tragic, tragic loss.
"He was an extremely good
actor, a good writer/director,
really one of those people
who was extremely
respectful of Hollywood. He
loved his mom and dad. He
was a talented, talented
person."
He added to the New York
Post: "He was in good spirits,
and working on all kinds of
projects … He was planning
on getting married. I am just
devastated. He was an
extremely wonderful, loving
guy. This is a tragedy."
A spokesman for the Los
Angeles County Coroner's
office, reported to be
handling the case, told AFP:
"We are in the initial stages
of our investigation" but
gave no further details.
A spokesman for the LA
Police Department (LAPD)
said he could not confirm the
death, adding: "There's a
death investigation, they're
waiting for the coroner to
identify the body."
