Sage Stallone Died Of A Heart Attack, Not A Drug Overdose

When Sage Stallone died about a month and a half ago, there was great focus paid to the condition of his room. Authorities reportedly found an empty pill bottle, and there was quite a bit of clutter. Consequently, both authorities and various news outlets speculated about the possibility of drugs playing a role. Well, the coroner’s report finally came back today, and it seems drugs didn’t factor into the end result at all.

It turns out Stallone died of a heart attack. According to TMZ, the coroner found evidence of heart disease far more advanced than would be expected for a thirty-six-year-old. We’ll likely never know if there was some kind of trigger or just a slow degeneration, but regardless, it’s likely the Stallone family is pleased to hear their son didn’t go out as a consequence of poor decision making.

Sage may not have been as famous as his father, but by all accounts, he was a very loving individual who knew a hell of a lot about movies. His spirit will live on in those who knew him best, and hopefully, his dreams will be accomplished through someone else. Pop Blend’s sincerest condolences go out to his entire family, his network of friends and anyone else affected by his life. He will be missed.
