Sage Moonblood Stallone, the 36-year-old son of Sylvester Stallone who starred alongside his father in "Rocky V," was found dead in his Hollywood apartment on Friday. The New York Post confirmed his passing with his attorney George Braunstein. Sources tell The Post that he likely died of an overdose of pills, and that a representative of the LAPD stated, "There is no suspicion of foul play or criminal activity."

Sage Stallone was Sylvester Stallone's eldest son from his first marriage to Sasha Czack (they divorced in 1985). Sage is survived by his brother Seargeoh, and his three half-sisters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.

Sage made his film debut playing Robert Balboa, Rocky's son, in 1990's "Rocky V" when he was 14 years old. The film was both a critical and financial disappointment, with Sylvester Stallone telling The Sun in 2010 that the reason he made the sequel was "I'm greedy — what can I tell you... It was a mistake because the audience didn't want to see the downside of the character. They wanted him to remain on top."

Damn shame, tough to bury your children no matter who you are

[SJSAMPLE]

No parent should ever lose a child.
If I could make that the one immutable law of the universe, I would.

Sage is survived by his brother Seargeoh, and his three half-sisters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.

I think I see a pattern here.

rIP, though if suicide not sure that is possible.

If you are a star, you have a much greater chance of outliving your child.

Exactly how badly do you want to be famous?

I’m 36 so it hits close to home,at least in terms of age.

People my age should not die,no matter who they are.

My heart goes out to his family. I can’t imagine how much they must be hurting.
