Sylvester Stallone’s son suffered possible drug overdose.

Sylvester Stallone’s son, Sage Stallone,  has reportedly been found dead in his home in Los Angeles California . Source say the cause of death was due to a prescription drug overdose.

TMZ reports that Stallone is extremely distraught. His rep, Michelle Bega, made a statement saying, “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.”

According to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter, there were no signs of foul play or trauma, and no suicide note was found. Although empty prescription drug bottles were found near the body, a cause of death was likely to take several weeks after an autopsy and toxicology tests are performed.
“He was in good spirits, and working on all kinds of projects,” George Braunstein told the Post. “He was planning on getting married. I am just devastated. He was an extremely wonderful, loving guy. This is a tragedy.”

Sylvester Stallone was at Comic-Con in  San Diego on Thursday to promote his new movie Expendables 2.

Sage Moonblood Stallone is the oldest of Sylvester’s children and made his first appearance on screen along side his father in Rocky V. After that, he went on to act in a number of films, most recently Promises Written in Water.

Stallone’s mother, Sasha Czack,  has also been notified of her 36 year old son’s death. 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
