  • Story Text: Aspiring actor and filmmaker Sage Stallone, the son of action movie star Sylvester Stallone, was found dead on Friday (July 13) at his home in Hollywood, authorities said.
    Los Angeles police sergeant Jim Parker said police found 36-year-old Stallone's body in the home while responding to a call asking authorities to check on his well-being. He said the case was turned over to the county coroner's office.

    "Officers arrived at the location just after a maid who had responded to the location at the request of family members to check on his status also. As the officers arrived the maid exited the location and determined the subject Sage Stallone was in fact deceased," Parker said.

    "The cause of death is still undetermined at this time. Detectives, along with the LA County Coroners, are currently on scene trying to determine that information. As it is there is no other information to hand out at this time except that it is an ongoing investigation with the LAPD's robbery-homicide division."
    Sage Stallone had appeared in a number of films, most notably with his father in 1990's "Rocky V," playing the title character's son, Rocky Balboa Jr., and in the 1996 disaster movie "Daylight," in which Sylvester Stallone starred as a hero leading an escape from a New York tunnel collapse and his son played a prison inmate.
    Sage Stallone was the second of two sons fathered by Sylvester Stallone, now 66, with his first wife, Sasha Czack, whom he divorced in 1985 after about 10 years of marriage.
    He has three other children by his third and current wife, Jennifer Flavin.
    A statement issued by the elder actor's publicist said: "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."
    Lawyer for Sage Stallone, George Braunstein, said he believed that Sylvester Stallone was returning to Los Angeles from the Comic-Con pop culture convention in San Diego.
