Sage Stallone, Sylvester Stallone’s son, passed away in 2012 due to heart disease.
Sage Moonblood Stallone was an actor and filmmaker, born on May 5, 1976, to Sylvester Stallone and his first wife, Sasha Czack. He made his acting debut alongside his father in the fifth installment of the Rocky series, “Rocky V,” playing the role of Rocky Balboa Jr. He also appeared with his father in the 1996 movie “Daylight.”
On July 13, 2012, Sage was found dead in his Los Angeles home at the age of 36. The initial speculation around his death included a possible drug overdose, as prescription bottles were found at the scene. However, the toxicology reports showed that no illicit drugs were involved. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office concluded that Sage died of atherosclerosis, which caused a heart attack. Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become clogged with fatty substances, which can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks.
Sage’s death was a significant loss for Sylvester Stallone, who expressed his grief publicly, stating that it’s a terrible situation and a parent should never have to bury their child. The tragedy brought attention to the importance of heart health and the impact of genetic predispositions to heart conditions. Sage Stallone was also remembered for his work in film, including co-founding Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to the preservation and promotion of exploitation films.
