Gossip: Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone’s son, Sage, was found dead last week in his Los Angeles home, said the New York Daily News. The cause of death is not yet known, but sources say it may have been an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Authorities have ruled out foul play, and no suicide note was found. In a statement, a bereaved Stallone lashed out over “questionable reporting” related to the incident, referring to unconfirmed reports that Sage had been living “like Howard Hughes” and was dead for days before his body was found.
